Death Defying

Ever since the world began

Men have sailed to foreign lands

And the fortunes that they've found

Are now buried in the ground.

Some would say the ocean roars

As it stumbles to the shore

But to me it only sings

Of the sorrow that it brings.

All my friends are dead

Or they're dying.

Empty laughter turns into crying.

It's death-defying.

Well, I barely learned to swim,

Just enough to save my skin.

Now I'll never sail alone,

And my harbour is my home.

All our friends are dead

Or they're dying,

And our laughter only turns into crying,

It's death-defying.

If there's one thing that I've learned,

It's the point of no return

And if that's to be our fate

Now's no time to hesitate.
