who are you warlike men wearing gray armor that is stained by rust breaking the ocean surge warden of deserted shores stands on his abandoned coast leading troops over the sea none of them have landed yet one last sleep til the end mother ocean spread your arms around me mother ocean let your children come towards me under my lonely sky he is no common man common man and when the raven died i stared into his cold eyes i saw it all unfold and saw what this life was about beneath my wings my brothers lie when the fierce winds hurtle by on either side and neath my breast our sons have known no other rest o mighty father lead us far with hope and songs of love and war over the black sea and white foam from here their children will find home remember days from long ago slowly we wander to and fro but now dead winds that blur the light pierce deep our feathers thin and light our feathers thin and light  beneath my wings my brothers lie when the fierce winds hurtle by on either side and neath my breast our sons have known no other beneath my wings my brothers lie when the fierce winds hurtle by on either side and neath my breast our sons have known no other rest
