Amidst the Furious Waves Lyrics


From quiet waters we set sail

Distance beckoned with its veil

The hold is full, the crew's on board

Gentle wind caught our careless boat

Now every man has got to save himself

The compass lied so we got lost

Drunken helmsman left his post

Someone screamed, the anchor's torn off

Desperate cries won't help us slow down

Now every man has got to save himself

We were blind

Gave our lives with no fears

Royal writ sent our ships overseas

Furious waves threw them all at the cliffs

Betrayed souls roam the ocean of broken dreams

Our hope is almost gone

It's lying deep in the abyss

Like treasure in a chest

The fragments of our faith

They sparkle like those diamond rings

We won't ever possess

The night is cold and dark

Some drowned but some keep holding on

To the ropes and broken masts

But how long can we last

The hostile water's calling us

Into the arms of death

Now every man has got to save himself

we were blind

Gave our lives with no fears

Royal writ sent our ships overseas

Furious waves threw them all at the cliffs

Betrayed souls roam the ocean of broken dreams
