Dagon - Back to the Sea (256 kbps)

[00:14.50] I lie awake at night, bereft of all respite,

[00:17.93] As memory takes its flight

[00:19.51] To the days of yore

[00:21.19] I was just a lad, the ship was all I had,

[00:24.92] And I was more than glad

[00:26.07] To leave my life ashore

[00:28.57] Crew my closest friends,

[00:29.96] We sailed to the oceans ends, oh but to see again

[00:33.07] The waves surrounding me

[00:35.33] But the years have hasted,

[00:37.32] And my body wasted, from adventure tasted

[00:40.45] Life at sea

[00:42.07] The ocean beckons, and I must act

[00:45.29] Before death calls I'm going back

[00:48.25] Back to the sea, where my heart remains

[00:51.44] Back to the grave of my father,

[00:53.91] The blood in my veins

[00:55.68] The salt in the air, I long for the taste

[00:58.93] and the mist and the wind on my face

[01:07.57] Many nights, by the lantern lights,

[01:10.43] with a round of pints

[01:11.92] We would tell the tales

[01:13.91] Of drifting isles, the triton's daughter's wiles,

[01:17.18] and of Blackbeard's guile

[01:18.70] When the pirates sailed

[01:20.92] Of cursed waters, of the ocean's daughter

[01:24.16] And of Spain's armada,

[01:25.44] Who became as prey

[01:27.66] Now my friends entombed,

[01:29.18] In earthly graves inhumed,

[01:30.93] And though my own death looms I will not share their fate

[01:34.17] The ocean beckons, and I must act

[01:37.41] Before death calls I'm going back

[01:40.19] Back to the sea, where my heart remains

[01:43.92] Back to the grave of my father,

[01:46.16] The blood in my veins

[01:47.91] The salt in the air, I long for the taste

[01:51.15] and the mist and the wind on my face

[01:54.18] Back to the sea, where legends are born

[01:57.34] And where in the wake of the storms

[01:59.74] Sailors widows do mourn

[02:01.97] One final time, to gaze on the surf.

[02:04.97] 'Fore my spirit departs from this earth

[02:08.25] Back to the sea
