A small ship on the ocean
A strong wind in its sails
We set out on this journey
seven seas from here
We have travelled farther
than anyone before
It's too late to go back now
We're too far from the shore
The stars are different
Eyes in the vastness of space
We don't belong here
But you're not afraid
We have heard the stories
But no one truly knows
What lives across the edges
Whereto the water flows
How small we are
At the mercy of the waves
Close to the edge
But you're not afraid
Legends tell of dragons
and endless waterfalls
But what if we should find
nothing it all?

End of the World

We live on an island
Bound to sink into the sea
But until that has happened
I live my life normally
Tidal waves crash into my shores
I hold my breath and brace for their force
It's the end of the world as we know it
It was written in the stars
It's the end of the world
and it's forcing its way into my troubled heart
I'm haunted by memories
Mushrooms bloom into the air
When I feel the ground tremble
I'm afraid it starts again
Tidal waves rush over my walls
My heart melts as the water falls
It's the end of the world ...
Hold on to me
Don't be afraid
'cause there is nothing we can do
Together we face
the end of days
Staring into the setting sun
It's the end of the world ...

Solitary Song

How long have I been staring out of my window,
dreaming of taking flight?
I remember how it felt to spread my wings
But behind bars, I sing a solitary song
Somehow you slipped through my hands
So gradually, I didn't feel it happen
I'm scared I've lost my of chance
For happiness with my one companion
Where can I go from here?
How long have I been waiting for love to return?
Time is passing me by
This golden cage once shone so brightly
Still a single bird sings a solitary song
Somehow you slipped through my hands...
Wait for me, I will return
That is what you said
But while you were out there
Your heart has changed
Somehow you slipped through my hands...
