Dead Winds of Hope

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And when the raven died, I stared into his cold eyes
I saw it all unfold, and saw what this life was about

[Chorus]
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

[solo]

[Verse 3, William Sharp]
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

[solo]

[Chorus]
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
