Such bittersweet Fruits from the seeds I sowed When I took the oar I pulled the needle off of north I forced my course Without waiting for the wind’s answer
I joined the infantry singing
No gods No masters That life is over It’s over Forget the call, make it work and sing No gods No masters Their reign is over It’s over You’re on your own, make it work
We built this ship from the wreckage And just prayed it might be more
One step, two steps Blood is warming in me yet Three steps, more sweat Now I’m gonna build my own damn thrown Even if I have to melt the one we built to make one
Why leave the fire to chase an ember? Why would you sunder your mast for tinder? Just for tinder Why leave the fire to chase an ember? Why rob the hull of your surrender? Your surrender
We built this ship from the wreckage But left broken we ran ashore
One more, two more Build a wall around my world Three more, four more Now I’ll make it out of frozen stone This time the mountain’s gonna keep it’s fire clear of my throne
We built this ship from the wreckage We, the praised, ran ashore
One day at sea Now one more day is all that I plea And I’ll burn the oars I’ll force dependence on the wind’s answer For this world Is all rubble masquerading pearls
Why leave the fire to chase an ember? Why would you sunder your mast for tinder? Just for tinder Why leave the fire to chase an ember? Why rob the hull of your surrender? Your surrender
Feeling returns like a surgeon severing a nerve Lost soul’s sending pain from the phantomverse
No gods No masters That life is over It’s over No gods No masters Their reign is over It’s over
