Oh, Sleeper - The Island lyrics

Such bittersweet Fruits from the seeds I sowed When I took the oar I pulled the needle off of north I forced my course Without waiting for the wind's answer I joined the infantry singing No gods No masters That life is over It's over Forget the call, make it work and sing No gods No masters Their reign is over It's over You're on your own, make it work We built this ship from the wreckage And just prayed it might be more One step, two steps Blood is warming in me yet Three steps, more sweat Now I'm gonna build my own damn thrown Even if I have to melt the one we built to make one Why leave the fire to chase an ember? Why would you sunder your mast for tinder? Just for tinder Why leave the fire to chase an ember? Why rob the hull of your surrender? Your surrender We built this ship from the wreckage But left broken we ran ashore One more, two more Build a wall around my world Three more, four more Now I'll make it out of frozen stone This time the mountain's gonna keep it's fire clear of my throne We built this ship from the wreckage We, the praised, ran ashore One day at sea Now one more day is all that I plea And I'll burn the oars I'll force dependence on the wind's answer For this world Is all rubble masquerading pearls Why leave the fire to chase an ember? Why would you sunder your mast for tinder? Just for tinder Why leave the fire to chase an ember? Why rob the hull of your surrender? Your surrender Feeling returns like a surgeon severing a nerve Lost soul's sending pain from the phantomverse No gods No masters That life is over It's over No gods No masters Their reign is over It's over
