Nostos

The night is falling in silence
Waking up the spirits of the sea.
In peace I am closing my eyes
Praying to the Lord His promise to keep.
Thinking of the life
That I didn't follow
The green meadows back home.
After thirty days in the water
I can finally see my home
Holy star of the mystical sunset
Oh my Lord I can sense my North
I was in fear and I was in awe
But I survived this unjust war.
Suddenly a roar of thunder
And our ship is losing control.
Here comes another stormnight
Waves are strong but so is my soul.
Time travels back
To my precious childhood.
My father whispers "valour"
Two-faced misty ocean, I'm a eagle in the sky
I'm standing, I defy you I will I will I will I will not cry.
And when at last I reach my harbor, when my boots are finally dry
I'll live…
