The Wake Of Magellan lyrics
Song information
Artist: Savatage Album: The Wake Of Magellan
Lyrics
As he stood upon the watch deck Looking out onto the sea It would offer no solutions Only silent company
So he took hold of the reasons As he tried to understand But they offered just confusion
As they bled into his hands
Dear god
Couldn't you decide What should happen to a man's assassins
Dear god
Is it suicide I have never been a man of passions
I believe what the prophets said
That the oceans hold their dead But at night when the waves are near They whisper
And I hear
There are wounds that bleed inside us There are wounds we never see They are part of our refinements That allow a man to be
There are wounds that bleed in silence With aristocratic grace There are tears we keep beside them Never seen upon a face
Dear god
Do you think it's wise To remember everything that & #146; s ever happened
Dear god
Could we compromise Or must the shadows of this night be everlasting
I believe what the prophets said
That the oceans hold their dead As I contemplate this stand What I do
Is who I am
I believe what the prophets said
That the oceans hold their dead But at night when the waves are near They whisper
And I hear
Don't see the storms are forming Don't see or heed the warning
Don't hear the sound of tyrants Surrounded by the silence
Columbus and magellan and de gama Sailed upon the ocean In a world of ignorance With thoughts so primitive That men were killed
With no more will Than that they simply had the notion But in this world of heartless men This thing they never did
Don't hear it Don't hear it Don't hear it Don't hear it
Got to keep it underground
If they find it kill it blind it If they find it kill it blind it
They whisper and I hear
