Sailor - One Last Trip

One last trip
Into the moon of your soul

With my last-made ship
Washed up on some shore

Calmly sailing in
Rowing standing on the bow

And from the line where the sky meets the sea
The horizon takes me and I don't even know where I go

All alone in the middle of the ocean again
The moon spilling it's magic potion to ease my pain

But my homecoming still remains the same...

There are no shadows or monsters to make me feel afraid
Take off of me this chain

'Cause I've been sailing around the whole world 
Goddesses dragged me to their beds but I remained blurred

Beautiful places where they thought I would stay
But you're the only thought that never fades away

I've been trying to forgive and forget 
But I've never really tried to control my rage

And I was sailing calm
Chatting with God

One of the million waves that pass by
Strikes my boat

Sadly drowning in
Praying and thinking of home

And your memory is the only company 
So I don't feel alone

I've been struggling all night
Fighting with waves

Oh, I wish I would die
When I provoked the God's rage

But I'll never regret 
Never forgive or forget

I've just seen to much
Now it's time to turn page

I will die tonight 
Please come and take my life

I can't do this anymore...

And I returned 
You thought I had died

I told you I'd win
You thought I had lied

But I never lie to you
I'm finally home...
