Sails
So on I sail, those cliffs behind
And all was quiet in my mind
New worlds I thought that I could see
And promise waiting there for me
A quiet place to fill my cup
No storm, no hate, no, not enough
But all that land I thought I found
Was only water for the drowned
I woke to see the storm had eased
But still, I could not make my peace
When plenty came to empty me
Of all the things I dreamed we'd be
Son, you can't fight the waves as they break
Your prayers for mercy, the water will take
A promise the world has been whispering to man
"Never again"
So never forget the ways we failed
On we sail
The water rose with roaring sound
As we all raced for the low ground
And all masks fell there on the shore
And all I've ever been is war
So on I sail, those cliffs behind
Of many more, this war is mine
A heavy weight, this empty cup
I've carried all, I've given up
Son, you can't fight the waves as they break
Your prayers for mercy, the water will take
A promise the world has been whispering to man
"Never again"
So never forget the ways we failed
On we sail
And all was quiet in my mind
New worlds I thought that I could see
And promise waiting there for me
A quiet place to fill my cup
No storm, no hate, no, not enough
But all that land I thought I found
Was only water for the drowned
I woke to see the storm had eased
But still, I could not make my peace
When plenty came to empty me
Of all the things I dreamed we'd be
Son, you can't fight the waves as they break
Your prayers for mercy, the water will take
A promise the world has been whispering to man
"Never again"
So never forget the ways we failed
On we sail
The water rose with roaring sound
As we all raced for the low ground
And all masks fell there on the shore
And all I've ever been is war
So on I sail, those cliffs behind
Of many more, this war is mine
A heavy weight, this empty cup
I've carried all, I've given up
Son, you can't fight the waves as they break
Your prayers for mercy, the water will take
A promise the world has been whispering to man
"Never again"
So never forget the ways we failed
On we sail
