lyrics

Rowboat in the Ocean
Well the journeys long, and the road is thin
And evil lurks at every inch, but the knowledge of the light
Keeps us ridin'
No we don't want no other prize, only freedom us, can satisfy,
Even the richest, robes for kings, are rags up there
The darkness employs many tricks, tries to fool us with it‘s promises of
Treasure, flesh, fame and earthly power
But we were not born yesterday, we know that gold will be washed away,
But that golden light will shine eternally
Climb inside, this small rowboat
The oceans wide, our fate unknown
Starry night, full moon glowin'
May this golden ray of light be our compas home
Well the cold is deep, the mountain cruel
The biting wind, a cobalt blue
But there is a key pressed in our palm, and we are climbin'
The desert‘s vast, the scorching sun
Boils us till we're almost done
But from the heavens falls a single drop of water
Their siren songs seduce our hearts
They try to capsize us on their jagged rocks
But we know, from their beauty, will be a pile of bones
We march across a feild of fire, a deadly valley of desire
But in the distance, on the hilltop, sits a lamb, yeah, yeah
Climb inside, this small rowboat
The oceans wide, our fate unknown
Starry night, full moon glowin'
May this golden ray of light be our compas home
They cuss us down, like rattle snakes
Spit their bile in our face
But our minds are calm and our eyes stare straight ahead
Their wicked tongues, devisin' schemes
Our reputations, submarined
But in our hearts not a single bud of hatred blooms
Their arrows sharp, their eyes enraged
They throw us in a pit of snakes
But from our pockets we pull a tiny wooden flute
Climb inside, this small rowboat
The oceans wide, our fate unknown
Starry night, full moon glowin'
May this golden ray of light be our compas home
