When I stand and look about the port and contemplate my life[00:00:17]

Will I ever see my countrymen again?[00:00:25]

As the captain calls us on the deck, I take my things and walk[00:00:32]

To the harbourside I glance back one last time[00:00:41]

Fleeing our nation, our problems we leave behind[00:00:51]

Ships by the tenfold sail out on the tide[00:00:58]

We are pleased to be out and embracing the open sea[00:01:03]

Free from our troubles and more free from thee[00:01:11]

Inheritors unfulfilled reason behind us[00:01:17]

We flee from what is not what is will be[00:01:24]

We flee the earth and face our harsh reality[00:01:30]

Will death below mist that hangs on the sea[00:01:36]

We run from evil tongues, rash judgements, selfish men[00:01:43]

Never to be seen on these shores again[00:01:49]

As we sail into oceansize and lose sight of land[00:01:54]

A face of contentment around in the air[00:02:01]

We're off now to seek all our fortunes[00:02:07]

To the land of our dreams...[00:02:13]

Riding the waves of the storm is upon us[00:02:29]

The winds lash the sails but the ropes keep them tight[00:02:34]

Off in the distance a dark cloud approaching[00:02:41]

None could imagine what there was to come[00:02:47]

No, there's no one going back[00:02:53]

No, there's not a second chance[00:02:56]

As we strap onto the side[00:02:59]

We pray to God that we won't die[00:03:02]

As we ride the rough seas, as we soak from the ocean waves[00:03:06]

I just hope for all our lives and pray that I survive[00:03:12]

Four ships are lost in the stormy conditions[00:03:19]

The spirits of the sunken crews, the phantoms follow us[00:03:25]

Spirit sails they drive us on[00:03:30]

Through the all consuming waves[00:03:33]

Cold mortality no weapon[00:03:36]

Against these ever raging seas[00:03:39]

Four leagues we turn and we hit storms again[00:03:56]

We just can't get away from the eye of the storm[00:04:02]

The birds outsoar the raging storm but we cannot escape it[00:04:08]

Abandoned earth that we now crave[00:04:14]

Is many leagues from safe[00:04:17]

Holding on for our dear lives[00:04:20]

And we're praying once again[00:04:23]

Rotten luck or just jonahed[00:04:25]

The Talisman is in my hand[00:04:29]

Limbs fatigued trembling with cold[00:04:58]

Blinded from the sea spray salt[00:05:01]

Clasping anything we can hold[00:05:04]

Heaven rain upon us falls[00:05:07]

Twenty days without a meal[00:05:09]

And ten without fresh water still[00:05:12]

Those that didn die in storms[00:05:16]

The scurvy rest did slaughter[00:05:18]

Westward the tide![00:05:33]

Westward we sail on![00:05:39]

Westward the tide![00:05:45]

Sail by the Talisman![00:05:50]

We approach the other side of the ocean with the tide[00:07:00]

In our favour just for once, welcome greeting our new land[00:07:06]

The elation in our hearts, the excitement in our veins[00:07:12]

As we sail towards the coastline of our golden promise land[00:07:18]

Weary limbs fatigued away[00:07:46]

I have no life left in me[00:07:49]

No more strength and nothing left to give[00:07:52]

Must find the will to live[00:07:56]

Never thought that we could make it[00:07:58]

Truly sight of shores divine[00:08:01]

The sickness I am dying from[00:08:04]

Never wanted it to end this way[00:08:07]

Westward the tide![00:08:10]

Westward we sail on![00:08:16]

Westward the tide![00:08:22]

Sail by the Talisman![00:08:27]

Westward the tide![00:08:33]

Westward we sail on![00:08:39]

Westward the tide![00:08:45]

Sail by the Talisman![00:08:50]
