"Edge Of The Map" lyrics
I locked my soul in glass
Sealed it in blood-red wax
I cast it out to sea
In case they don't find me
Dear reader if my words survived
And I have not come back
Be sure I chased my fate
Past the edge of the map
Into the jaws of death we go and go and go
Here we go
And around and around we go
Spinning webs, pulling threads of gold
Then a coin slips
Then the wind shifts
Embark
Now it's hunt or become the mark
Now it's steel flashes in the dark
Keep your wits up
And your eyes down
Inescapable destiny denied
Collapsed into your pride
The words heard on the wind
Were vapors of a lie
If you follow me
You're gonna sail until you pass the edge
Of every map
Across the sea
Into the blue oblivion
Where no man's been
You let the latent chaos roam
With death we go
Beast and man dare not behold
The hunger of the northern fold
Never let your courage fail
And tidal anger shan't prevail
Steel yourselves run up the mast
The sea has us alone at last
Every man pray for the shore
May ne'er we see the ocean floor
Forget now the touch of land (forget the old land)
And pray ye see your homes again (and pray for your homes)
Never let your eyes find peace
Until the ocean's maw ye leave
Heave n ho for north we go (you'll never find peace until you)
To sail the nightmare past the shore
Cast away farewell the day (escape from the maw)
And flee before the ocean fray
If you follow me
You're gonna sail until you pass the edge
Of every map
Across the sea
Into the blue oblivion
Where no man's been
You live life on your knees
Bound hand and foot to your father
Well it looks to me
Like you're cannon fodder
Yeah cannon fodder
Eyes up up up up up
Here there be monsters
At every turn there's peril
So don't listen to the sirens
Singing out for
Sweet, deep sleep
If you don't turn your back it's
Death, death, death, death
Sealed it in blood-red wax
I cast it out to sea
In case they don't find me
Dear reader if my words survived
And I have not come back
Be sure I chased my fate
Past the edge of the map
Into the jaws of death we go and go and go
Here we go
And around and around we go
Spinning webs, pulling threads of gold
Then a coin slips
Then the wind shifts
Embark
Now it's hunt or become the mark
Now it's steel flashes in the dark
Keep your wits up
And your eyes down
Inescapable destiny denied
Collapsed into your pride
The words heard on the wind
Were vapors of a lie
If you follow me
You're gonna sail until you pass the edge
Of every map
Across the sea
Into the blue oblivion
Where no man's been
You let the latent chaos roam
With death we go
Beast and man dare not behold
The hunger of the northern fold
Never let your courage fail
And tidal anger shan't prevail
Steel yourselves run up the mast
The sea has us alone at last
Every man pray for the shore
May ne'er we see the ocean floor
Forget now the touch of land (forget the old land)
And pray ye see your homes again (and pray for your homes)
Never let your eyes find peace
Until the ocean's maw ye leave
Heave n ho for north we go (you'll never find peace until you)
To sail the nightmare past the shore
Cast away farewell the day (escape from the maw)
And flee before the ocean fray
If you follow me
You're gonna sail until you pass the edge
Of every map
Across the sea
Into the blue oblivion
Where no man's been
You live life on your knees
Bound hand and foot to your father
Well it looks to me
Like you're cannon fodder
Yeah cannon fodder
Eyes up up up up up
Here there be monsters
At every turn there's peril
So don't listen to the sirens
Singing out for
Sweet, deep sleep
If you don't turn your back it's
Death, death, death, death
