Solomons to the China sea
jungles burn
dead men in trees
you one gun punks
wont work with me
you're royalty until the end
oh lucky Jim
how can you be breathing
we watched from the hill as they walked you away
clouds in the skies
above armies retreating
you 're shot in the the back from both sides
I look out to sea
the black ships are sailing
I wonder if this is worth keeping at all
I cannot explain
why cant we determine
just watching the waves
as they wash up on shore

cast away in salt spray
no I don't wanna be
I don't want to see it yet
between the lines an absence of style
between the earth and the sky
it goes for miles
said you'd wait
said you'd stay
called it fate
you said a lot that day
name them
bury them
to each his own
come here partisan
I'll show you the road
show you the road
far above the clouds and all
even the strongest fall
the ocean drowns us all
I sail with the black ships
soulless armada
stalking the life and the light up on shore
respect was demanded
forgiveness longed for
set sail in April
forgotten by fall
where will it end
where will it end
where will it end
where will it end
where will it end

Legion

down
down on the sunken road I saw
four bloody horsemen
four of the ones awaiting my call
out of the blue
waving your flag around
out of the blue
never a sound
never a sound
cold
my bones tumble into the breach
weed worn and salt cut
never so peaceful
never at ease
marching your legion
deep into forests full of pain
never in season
never the time to wait out the rain
stand by my Odessa
deep in the black sea
high on the mount
forward
I have been crawling
seeking out something
I cant be without

flashback
got the feedback
don't take me back
I want to go there
I want to be there
can you believe me for just once this time
I'm wrapped in silver
I'm hauling the chains
setting the sails again and again
mark the horizon
map out the lines
past to the present
I'm all out of time
why would you take my time away from me
someday
someday
why would you take that time away from me baby
filled the sky with a tropical storm
moving the trees all over
oh its after the walls have fallen
long after the fall
oh its after the walls have fallen
long after the fall

we are the black ships
we are the dead men
skeleton crews
riding the breeze
a hopeless romantic
raises her banner
can anybody say what she sees
mystics and mirrors
a warning to call for
bleeding, not bashing the best of them in
sun it is setting, who can be calling
a message
a message
is all that I bring
for honor and glory
the walls have been falling
for honor and glory
there is something to be
one humble servant
one act to call for
oh lord how could you do this to me
stately kings
darkened thrones
long lush grasses the winds do blow
where blood is spilled
now the flowers will grow
never thought I
would be hearing
words that you found most endearing
can you speak your bitter language
can you tell me
where you are buried
summer through winter
winter through fall
somehow you managed to last through them all
stately kings
darkened thrones
long lush grasses the winds do blow
where blood is spilled
now the flowers will grow

never was lonely
I lamented my summer
was closing my eyes
at the first sign of snow
how I long for surrender
these boots of abandon
there must be a way
of letting them go
the setting sun
is pooling blood
no
flowing forever
until morning comes
lost tonight
I watch the guns light up the sky
when its gone
will all your colours start to run
just bury me please
get me away from here
just bury me please
yeah far away from here
I was waving
not drowning
its all over
all over
not waving
I was drowning
all over
all over
not waving
I was drowning
all over
all over
