Ship With No Sails

There's a rumor in the night
A distant face that memory
Has brought back to my door.

I assumed it would fade away
Time didn't kill it after all.

Why do we try to hide from yesterday?
Erase our footsteps in the sand.

The gate is open but it's cold and dark
The siren calls from beyond
You pay the price and you pray for salvation
But all you get is desolation.

Hear the sound of the clashing waves and the wailing wind as a new day dawns
All your dreams washed up on the shore are now faded and gone
Always standing on the edge of paradise, but you never took that step
There's a ship waiting on the shore and you cannot find the sail.

Seasons wasted wondering why
You were too weak to move on
A silent scream, an empty cry for
Someone to carry you home.

The demon tries to take control again
Nightmares appear in your mind
Afraid to fly - like a bird in a cage
No chance to leave this earthly prison.

Hear the sound of the clashing waves and the wailing wind as a new day dawns
All your dreams washed up on the shore are now faded and gone
Always standing on the edge of paradise, but you never took that step
There's a ship waiting on the shore and you cannot find the sail.

There's a newborn star that lights your way in the dark
You have to reach out and take it.
All the poison you drank will be drained from your heart
Come and dance with the minstrel - Leave your fears behind
The vision's fading
The winds are blowing
But no one answers the call.

You always tried to hide from yesterday
Remove the traces of your past.

Hear the sound of the clashing waves and the wailing wind as a new day dawns
All your dreams washed up on the shore are now faded and gone
Always standing on the edge of paradise, but you never took that step
There's a ship waiting on the shore and you cannot find the sail.
