Lanterna

Kings of the land are weak
Before the seas
(And rising storms)
Wisdom can fade and towers fall
(Words can be cast out)

We look at the same stars
Walk the same paths
Leave only a trace
And just for a while

We wait for the ebbing tide
And try to make for common ground
Ahead of the dying light we look to find
A way back home

Out on the edge, seeking a path
There are no gods here, only us

Fly before the storm
Racing for the shore
No safe harbour near
Nowhere left to hide
Find a course to take them home
Work together, stand together
Not alone
They are not alone
No

Old man of the sea
(Rising from the deep)
Summoning the waves
(Calling out their names)
Running from an angry god
Lead them home, bring them home
They are not alone
Not alone

At a place where the waves meet the shore
Raise a tower and send light over the sea
Mark the land with unshakable spires
Make a harbour for travellers
And for strangers

Keepers of the light
(Reach far into the night)
For those who sail the seas
(In peril on the tides)
Voyagers escaping storms
Beacons call to bring them home
They are not alone
Not alone

At a place where the waves meet the shore
Raise a giant and send light over the sea
Mark the land with unshakable spires
Make a harbour for travellers
And for strangers

(We made the land our common ground)
(We made the sea our common ground)

As we stand together side by side
Turn our faces to the skies
One day we take ship to the stars

One day we take ship to the stars
