On The Ocean's Command

Ex Libris


We sail! Mother ocean, come command us!
We all hail your golden horizon
From tides and storms you shall defend us

Oh mother ocean, carry me on thy waves away, I ask
Stand by me on my journey; let me drink from thy breast
And revive my reverie, my reverie

We sail! Mother ocean, come command us!
We all hail your golden horizon
From tides and storms you shall defend us

We sail! Mother ocean, come command us!
We all hail your golden horizon
From tides and storms you shall defend us

Lead us through all your wiles
Lead us from my father’s ire
Lead us from the echoes of my brother’s cries
Oh guide me to where his wrath can’t touch me!

Oh shores of colchis, farewell to thee
I divest myself of our tragedy

If there ever comes a time for regret
Then I’ll mourn his death
But though his blood is on my hand
I have not felt remorse or grief yet
I fly with the wind, away on her breath

A new dawn, a new day, a story renewed
Lead the way to a new world today!
For on a new horizon I’m free of my sins

We sail! Mother ocean, come command us!
We all hail your golden horizon
From tides and storms you shall defend us

We sail! Mother ocean, come command us!
We all hail your golden horizon
From tides and storms you shall defend us

Who I have been shall be no more
May all I leave behind be dead to the world
