Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
A billion words ago
The sailors disappeared
A story for the children
To rock them back to sleepA million burning books
Like torches in our hands
A fabric of ideals
To decorate our homesA thousand generations
The soil on which we walk
A mountain of mistakes
For us to climb for pleasureA hundred clocks are ticking
The line becomes a circle
Spin the wheel of fortune
Or learn to navigateA choir full of longing
Will call our ships to port
The countless lonely voices
Like whispers in the darkA choir full of longing
Will call our ships to port
The countless lonely voices
Like whispers in the darkA second of reflection
Can take you to the moon
The slightest hesitation
Can bring you down in flamesA single spark of passion
Can change a man forever
A moment in a lifetime
Is all it takes to break himA fraction of a heartbeat
Made us what we are
A brother and a sister
For better or for worseA billion words ago
They sang a song of leaving
An echo from the chorus
Will call them back againA choir full of longing
Will call our ships to port
The countless lonely voices
Like whispers in the darkA choir full of longing
Will call our ships to port
The countless lonely voices
Like whispers in the darkTonight we light the fires
We call our ships to port
Tonight we walk on water
And tomorrow we'll be goneTonight we light the fires
We call our ships to port
Tonight we walk on water
And tomorrow we'll be goneTonight we light the fires
We call our ships to port
Tonight we walk on water
And tomorrow we'll be goneTonight
Tonight
