Odysseus - A Song Of Hope


Long days and longer nights, they stretch like barren seas.
God only knows if we'll ever see home or if that home remembers me.
We have heard the sirens song and we have braved the hydras maw
A dream of glory gone too far to make a place in history ours.

Servants, strangers, heroes to ourselves
Hearts beat in rhythm as we sail
And I will not die forgotten to this world
Icons and vagabonds, the rulers of this earth

We are the dead
We are the homesick, lost and loveless
Left to live (cause we won't die)
Though stretched and broken we will rise
We are the deaf
But you will hear us sing again
A song of hope (a song of life)
A song to urge the ill advised

We live or die the chosen few to face the early graying dawn
Let history remember us as those who conquered the beyond
Ageless and mighty let our legend outlive time
Warriors and proud men all, you will hear of our lives

Servants, strangers, heroes to ourselves
Hearts beat in rhythm as we sail
And I will not die forgotten to this world
Icons and vagabonds, the rulers of this earth

We are the dead
We are the homesick, lost and loveless
Left to live (cause we won't die)
Though stretched and broken we will rise
We are the deaf
But you will hear us sing again
A song of hope (a song of life)
A song to urge the ill advised, ill advised

Cause we won't die
I will not die

We are the dead
We are the homesick, lost and loveless
Left to live (cause we won't die)
Though stretched and broken we will rise
We are the deaf
But you will hear us sing again
A song of hope (a song of life)
A song to urge the ill advised.
