Covenant - Call the Ships to Port

Текст песни Covenant - Call the Ships to Port

a billion words ago 
the sailors disappeared 
a story for the children 
to rock them back to sleep 

a million burning books 
like torches in our hands 
a fabric of ideals 
to decorate our homes 

a thousand generations 
the soil on which we walk 
a mountain of mistakes 
for us to climb for pleasure 

a hundred clocks are ticking 
the line becomes a circle 
spin the wheel of fortune 
or learn to navigate 

a choir full of longing 
will call our ships to port 
the countless lonely voices 
like whispers in the dark 

a second of reflection can 
take you to the moon 
the slightest hesitation can 
bring you down in flames 

a single spark of passion 
can change a man forever 
a moment in a lifetime 
is all it takes to break him 

a fraction of a heartbeat 
made us what we are 
a brother and a sister 
for better or for worse 

a billion words ago 
they sang a song of leaving 
an echo from the chorus 
will call them back again 

a choir full of longing… 
tonight we light the fires 
we call our ships to port 
tonight we walk on water 
and tomorrow we'll be gone
