The code of the open sea is different
Than my father's
Young men taught to pillage and steal
It's been far too long
Since I have heard
From my mother
I can't see her face
I can't hear her song
When all is said and done
I've put in a good day's work
But there're stains upon my blade
I'm on this god-forsaken boat
Sometimes I wonder who I am anymore
Sometimes I get lost in the sins
Of my brothers
Young men who can back up the things that they do
I've heard even a fish doesn't know
He's in water
Well fish swim in the sea
And they walk on the land
And I'm far from you now
I've lost my sense of right and wrong
I'm far from my home
And from my wife
And from my child
My feet long for the earth
My lips long for hers
For my lover
I'm afraid she won't recognize who I am
These sure aren't the words
No this isn't the place
For a father
Father Time won't even hear my cries
And I'm far from you now
I've lost my sense of right and wrong
I'm far from my home
And from my wife
And from my child
So I'll jump
Off of this boat
And into the sea
As waves crash over me
I'll swim
Until I find redemption
I'll swim until I'll find my way to you
Till I find my way to you
