An Ocean Of Strange Islands

[Verse 1] A mariner under a sky moonlit On an island of a crewless ship A few decades of immortality ahead A one-man crew for a one-way trip Islands, islands everywhere I keep my range with crowded sails My waves, they kiss every shore I land Steep cliffs will mock my waving hand [Verse 2] Islanders, villagers, universal mariners Calling me, guiding me, monsters far beneath Hurricanes on the way, lunatic weathervanes Shipwrecked lovers on a faraway cay Passing by butterflies, fluttering for a day Jokers, jesters, Goddesses, hominidae Deep delicious blue beneath I'll steer wherever tomorrow is near [Pre-Chorus] Light a beacon so I can navigate Through the tempest, through the madness Light a homefire for the sad man with a begging hand Light a beacon so I can navigate Through the tempest following the quintet Ride on the highest wave Bring me to life To them who dance in the daylight [Chorus] Sail and seek The starbound quay Calling you, calling me To be a part of your story [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Here raining ash to cover the dead An island of the past wrecks Of you, of the endless sundown Hemlock meadows, deepest quicksand Empty harbor by a wasteland Mirrors, mirrors, everywhere For you of mad despair [Refrain] Friends, who were for a time Now grapes of sour wine Lords of a single fly Still, I rue no island of shared solitude [Bridge] You who glow in deepest woe Let it be, retiree, the water's fine Sail carefree [Chorus] Sail and seek The starbound quay Calling you, calling me To be a part of your story On these strange islands
