The sun was shining when we boarded our boats

Sedated infants silent hanging from their mothers breasts

Aegean the sea of the dead, it takes a day to lose your home

Aegean the sea of the dead, it takes a moment to lose it all

And even if you run away, miles away

You will never feel safe again, safe again

Aegean the sea of the dead

Aegean we’ll never forget

Thirst, hunger, terror and fear a path laid with thorns

The war has brought us only storms

Roaming forevermore, without hope

Aegean the sea of the dead

Aegean we’ll never forget

Fight, swim, catch your breath a story full of pain

Find a way or make a way

Your cries are all in vain

Aegean the sea of the dead

Aegean we’ll never forget

We close our eyes and deny the call of hunger

We slip away and wonder

Everyday we face the unknown

The chance of survival is slimming in time

Yet the candle of hope burning bright

I know we have reached the end of the line
