[00:17.02]When I stand and look about the port and contemplate my life
[00:25.08]Will I ever see my countrymen again
[00:32.93]As the captain calls us on the deck I take my things and walk
[00:41.02]To the harbourside I glance back one last time
[00:51.51]Fleeing our nation our problems we leave behind
[00:58.43]Ships by the tenfold sail out on the tide
[01:03.93]We are pleased to be out and embracing the open sea
[01:11.49]Free from our troubles and more free from thee
[01:17.49]Inheritors unfulfilled reason behind us
[01:24.32]We flee from what is not what is will be
[01:30.51]We flee the earth and face our harsh reality
[01:36.68]Will death below mist that hangs on the sea
[01:43.08]We run from evil tongues rash judgements selfish men
[01:49.29]Never to be seen on these shores again
[01:54.95]As we sail into oceansize and lose sight of land
[02:01.94]A face of contentment around in the air
[02:07.99]We're off now to seek all our fortunes
[02:13.17]To the land of our dreams
[02:29.21]Riding the waves of the storm is upon us
[02:34.77]The winds lash the sails but the ropes keep them tight
[02:41.33]Off in the distance a dark cloud approaching
[02:47.71]None could imagine what there was to come
[02:53.11]No there's no one going back
[02:56.24]No there's not a second chance
[02:59.25]As we strap onto the side
[03:02.43]We pray to God that we won't die
[03:06.18]As we ride the rough seas as we soak from the ocean waves
[03:12.55]I just hope for all our lives and pray that I survive
[03:19.03]Four ships are lost in the stormy conditions
[03:25.17]The spirits of the sunken crews the phantoms follow us
[03:30.59]Spirit sails they drive us on
[03:33.65]Through the all consuming waves
[03:36.96]Cold mortality no weapon
[03:39.77]Against these ever raging seas
[03:56.24]Four leagues we turn and we hit storms again
[04:02.23]We just can't get away from the eye of the storm
[04:08.00]The birds outsoar the raging storm but we cannot escape it
[04:14.57]Abandoned earth that we now crave
[04:17.61]Is many leagues from safe
[04:20.24]Holding on for our dear lives
[04:23.17]And we're praying once again
[04:25.98]Rotten luck or just jonahed
[04:29.03]The Talisman is in my hand
[04:58.29]Limbs fatigued trembling with cold
[05:01.22]Blinded from the sea spray salt
[05:04.23]Clasping anything we can hold
[05:07.19]Heaven rain upon us falls
[05:09.99]Twenty days without a meal
[05:12.74]And ten without fresh water still
[05:16.09]Those that didn die in storms
[05:18.84]The scurvy rest did slaughter
[05:33.26]Westward the tide
[05:39.16]Westward we sail on
[05:45.08]Westward the tide
[05:50.76]Sail by the Talisman
[07:00.76]We approach the other side of the ocean with the tide
[07:06.60]In our favour just for once welcome greeting our new land
[07:12.58]The elation in our hearts the excitement in our veins
[07:18.39]As we sail towards the coastline of our golden promise land
[07:46.93]Weary limbs fatigued away
[07:49.80]I have no life left in me
[07:52.50]No more strength and nothing left to give
[07:56.17]Must find the will to live
[07:58.54]Never thought that we could make it
[08:01.22]Truly sight of shores divine
[08:04.04]The sickness I am dying from
[08:07.53]Never wanted it to end this way
[08:10.83]Westward the tide
[08:16.54]Westward we sail on
[08:22.28]Westward the tide
[08:27.84]Sail by the Talisman
[08:33.70]Westward the tide
[08:39.39]Westward we sail on
[08:45.16]Westward the tide
[08:50.67]Sail by the Talisman
