Testo Green Waves

Sailor on the seven seas
his heart is filled with sadness and grief
No one knows what hides inside
behind his harrowed face

A short gaze at the sky
"A distant place is the place for me
Mother! Why didn't you give me wings?"

The wind is so hard
And with it comes rain
beating deep inside my soul
The sea, she once was my friend,
now she's claiming me

I'm falling and it feels so right
I know I'm heading towards my eternal night
But a light in the deep tells of dawn
So I'm moving towards the beyond

Dreaming of heroics in the deep
but this is not my sleep
I know your secrets and your past
My words shall echo last

I think I was 12 years old
when I realized I wasn't immortal
And now in this world of green waves
it's all coming back to me

I've been here before
I remember a storm
Beating deep inside my soul
The sea, she once was my friend,
and now she's claiming me

I'm falling...
