a: Set Sail (Instr.)
b: North Sea Storms
In the black and heavy rainfall
Forcing heaven on it’s knees
There where light and darkness battle
A Hymn through sails sounds as it breathes
Where trusses shake with fear
Oak wood cracks as nature pounds
And the sea pours out it’s guts
Salving wrecks with battering sounds
Those North Sea storms are pounding
Keep you and me surrounded
By a clear and crescent moon
We’ll see each other soon
With beard and muscle building dykes
The iron waves experienced
A fisher’s ship pierces the brows
As the lighthouse steers her well
c: The Breathing Ship
The breathing ship it does not tolerate
Be friendly if you ask
It’s driven by manners
Her colours woven in banners
And tawny shingle
But she knows how and why
She solely steers the rudder
Before the dawn catches her eye
She knows about the water
The breathing ship protects her children
Bread from water she will give them
d: Floating Wood (Instr.)
e: Soul Of The Past
Warm wet water
Glistening on a tired and wrinkled face
As the last Lot into Sodom
established into wicked ways
The fishermen all left here
They’re missing and afraid
The morals sharp were blunted
Waters emptied by the rates
The warmth no longer lingers
We must stand on our own feet
Into the wide and open
And hope that one day we will meet
The washing of the water wailing
Has made us learn to think
And only when the ship sinks
We will know who learned to swim
f: Thoughts Of Home (Instr.)
g: The Harbour
Here by the pier
It seems a long, long time ago now
Embrace the new
The ancient heart has turned to stone now
The here, it was
Bring our sons, bring our daughters
Shine on, shine on
Let’s greet the day and face the morning
From the harbour to the dykes
From the dry land to the sea
Here I’ll always will be free
I feel my heart in every wave
Here by the pier
It seems a long, long time ago now
Renew, renew
The ancient heart has turned to stone now
The here, it was
Bring the fire, bring the water
Shine on, shine on
Let’s sing my sons, sing my daughters
I see the water, stretch my hands and I get up
I see the water

Stormbound

|
I wake up, hear the warning
bell chimes like a song
It echoes with the living
And fades out like a drum
If we can make it
Till the rising sun
Lightning strikes us with it’s bright wings
Waves are on the run
Bright and hazardous the journey
Till the kingdom come
I wake up in the moment
Gulls drift high above
To morning skies iv’e woken
Calm has come to all
If we can make it
Till the rising sun

The Cross

Here by the harbour lies the old familiar road to home
That I know
And over the rooftops where the rainclouds meet the eye
There raise the masts of boats
And if you walk the cobbled stones of misty aisles and hollow moans
You break the bones and wake the souls of ghosts
The water is a mirror where your tears just can’t pierce through now
You stare blind in the distance and you know the only way is go back, somehow
And what you feel is dead and cold and nowhere light
And blanked out
Come back home
Deep down under water there is a light
In the deep and darkest water
In the blackest of the night
I stand with arms wide open
Waiting for the brightest light
Here I wandered blind and lonely
Through the emty desolate vales
I felt the fear and I embraced it
But no one could ease the pain
The waves and the waters
The wind and the rain
The bright constellations
They all know my name
My body here is broken
I feel the whip upon my skin
The battle I have chosen
Is the answer to my sins

a: Son
Protect my son
Where he may go
Surrounded by the wind and breakers
Named as a child by God, our hope
And sealed to be a ship’s companion
See the old sun, feel the old wave
The heavens look upon him
Protect my son
My life, my faith
And give a safe and gentle journey
His shoulders broad and hands so rough
To embrace me on that good day
b: The Lighthouse
A beacon in the night
The giver of the light
When we may go down
You guide us through the reefs
The bringer of belief
Where hope may be found
We’re saving it all for you, and so be brave
We’re saving it all for you till the light fades
And now we’re homeward bound
Through waves of mighty sound
We pray we’ll be safe
Here in your warm embrace
We give in to your grace
Where souls can be saved
We’re giving it all to you, and so be brave
We’re giving it all to you till the light fades
c: The Field
There has to be an island in the emptiness I feel
No sunlight through the storm clouds
And the days and nights seem bleak
Can something rise beyond horizons
Or is the spell beyond our grace
Only stones that rise from silence
Where the dead just lie betrayed
And the procession just moves onward
Rolls slow between the slates
The sorrow of the sailor
The pain too deep to fade
And the soil feeds on the salesman
That sells a life beyond the grave
Is this the last he’ll favour
or are we promised something great

Brand New

Wintertime, wintertime
Feel it in my bones
All dressed up, all dressed up
Nowhere left to go
All this time all this time
Trying so hard to give
Borderline, borderline
Forgetting to live
Just make it all brand new
And I’lI say that it’s fine with me
The colours come through
Strum along, strum along
With the sadness of my song
All messed up, all messed up
Find where I belong
