Race the Seas

In this maze of green and white

in a forest dark and wild

In have been before or will I be?

I lost my sense of time

Three years I roamed in hell alone

I felt like dying but I can’t

Suddenly there is a distant voice from outside

so close the book again

and risk a flash of light

I hace to race the seas to regain my honor

to be worthy of loving you, my bride

I wonder is there a place left on earth

or is it gone since I’ve turned the key?

Only your picture will keep me sane

I can see the prints of your feet on the beach

but at every spot

they are leading away from me

and I fear that with a splashing wave

they are drawn back to the sea

I have to race the seas…

And then the tide will rise again

but you’re out of sight

So for a while I’ll rest here by the shore

until my future will recur

Now you are stuck under the same old star

and there is no way out, believe me

I have tried them all

So sit down, let’s have that whiskey without jar

it seems like yesterday

that I’ve seen your final fate

There’s a trap somewhere around

better watch your step

Don’t be brave just let her down

You will drown

and when the lightning strikes you and you die

my precognitions fade

and I see you in another life

I have to race the seas…

And then the tide will rise again…
