<bkz: savatage>



don't want to walk upon the water
don't want to look across the waves
ınstead of seeing hills of water

ı just see markers on their graves

but in the fading of a season
to look across an empty sky
for a forgotten childhood reason
to once more wish that you could

close your eyes and just believe again
there's a god does he remember when
we were young and faith was not pretend

anymore
anymore
anymore
anymore

and in the night he sees the ocean
carve its thoughts upon the shore
for in the way it was created
ıt can do this and nothing more

and every message it would leave him
the next wave carefully erased
as the tears that passed between them

were so real that you could

close your eyes and just believe again
there's a god and he remembers when
we were young and faith was not pretend

anymore
anymore
anymore
anymore

and all at once the waves were getting
higher
and as they crashed ı thought ı heard them say
there'd be a time when men would all be wiser
when everyone, everyone,

yes everyone is

saved

and as he walked away he thought about
that thırd stowaway once more
and wondered ıf the body had washed up
upon some far and dıstant shore

or ıf ıt sank down through the depths
of cold realıty
to rest upon the ocean floor
for all eternıty

for at the bottom of the sea
the dead do not feel paın
and neath the ocean made of tears

they never fear the raın

but what had really happened
was a stranger twıst of fate
that the deckhand was to never know
but to you ı wıll relate
