I have faced a hundred armies
I have been a mercenary, too
Imagine taking lives with
A thousand deaths denied from you
Never gonna see my country prosper
Never gonna stand with brothers lost at war
Never gonna taste the gift of freedom;
I'm bound and shackled forevermore
The lone survivor adrift on the endless sea
The abyss beckons me
Oh, witness
Bodies on the ramparts and banners stained with blood
I am cursed and deathless, the silence deafens
Fortune will provide fresh wind for my sails
Upon a lonely tide I drift home
Inside there is a yearning
To embrace the ground with open arms
Never gonna gaze into the eyes
Of mercy, splendor, grace, or lore
The lone survivor adrift on the endless sea
The abyss beckons me
Oh, witness
Bodies on the ramparts and banners stained with blood
I am cursed and deathless, the silence deafens
Fortune will provide fresh wind for my sails
Upon a lonely tide I drift home
The waves roll on and everything I've lost is swallowed whole The waves roll on and everything I've lost is swallowed whole
The lone survivor adrift on the endless sea
The abyss beckons me
Oh, witness
Bodies on the ramparts and banners stained with blood
I am cursed and deathless, the silence deafens
Fortune will provide fresh wind for my sails
Upon a lonely tide...
Bodies on the ramparts and banners stained with blood
I am cursed and deathless, the silence deafens
Fortune will provide fresh wind for my sails
Upon a lonely tide I drift home
