The Ship of Theseus

I must make a ship
And I must stake many lives on it
I, I will build until I die
Or until my creation can fly over foreign tides

"By Theseus, thou hath been beseeched
Bestow control over violent seas."

Just; free of flaw and rust
It must make to trust
These seas aren't kind to us
The ebbs and flows wash clean life's dust
And so, it's thus: My ship will claim verity and malleability
It will sail free
It must sail free

And so, I
I will build until the day is night
I will sweat, I will bleed, I will fret
I will cry not half the children might
I will bring them light

By Theseus, I hath been beseeched
("By Theseus, thou hath been beseeched.")
Apollo's golden light shines on me
Let Athens' children roam free!
I command thee

One day yet, our call to death will surely wail
Until then, let Chronos' breath humbly, deftly spur these sails
Through time, we will prevail
