lyrics

No need to look over your shoulder,
It doesn't matter
The ships passing while we're treading water,
Far away from shore
A swan and dragon pepper the black sky,
But don't show sympathy
We yell out as loud as our lungs can gather,
There's no echo on the waves

From the scaffolding in the quarters,
A steady dripping
The merchant checks his compass and orders,
Dagger gripping
The ship hand settles into the corner,
Fast asleep now
And soon the waves will pick up and throw them,
Unannounced, cause we...

We recognize all this independent light
We give it our honor and our lives
And only when the four winds merge
You will set the sail and turn

When the hell on water does settle
A stream of sun beams down
A dove flies in an a lands on the rudder
Now their fast approaching

We, we recognize all this independent light
We give it our honor and our lives
But only when the four winds merge
You will set the sail and turn
