Ship With No Sails

There's a rumor in the night

A distant face that memory

Has brought back to my door

I assumed it would fade away

Time didn't kill it after all

Why do we try to hide from yesterday?

Erase our footsteps in the sand

The gate is open but it's cold and dark

The siren calls from beyond

You pay the price

And you pray for salvation

But all you get is desolation

Hear the sound of the clashing waves

And the wailing wind as a new day dawns

All your dreams washed up on the shore

Are now faded and gone

Always standing on the edge of paradise

But you never took that step

There's a ship waiting on the shore

And you cannot find the sails

Seasons wasted wondering why

You were too weak to move on

A silent scream, an empty cry for

Someone to carry you home

The demon tries to take control again

Nightmares appear in your mind

Afraid to fly, like a bird in a cage

No chance to leave this earthly prison

Hear the sound of the clashing waves

And the wailing wind as a new day dawns

All your dreams washed up on the shore

Are now faded and gone

Always standing on the edge of paradise

But you never took that step

There's a ship waiting on the shore

And you cannot find the sails

There's a newborn star

that lights your way in the dark

You have to reach out and take it

All the poison you drank will be drained from your heart

Come and dance with the minstrel

Leave your fears behind

The vision's fading

The winds are blowing

But no one answers the call

You always tried to hide from yesterday

Remove the traces of your past

Hear the sound of the clashing waves

And the wailing wind as a new day dawns

All your dreams washed up on the shore

Are now faded and gone

Always standing on the edge of paradise

But you never took that step

There's a ship waiting on the shore

And you cannot find the sails
