[Intro – Solo acoustic guitar, slow and sweet, clean arpeggios] The tide rises. Slowly. [Verse 1] The room is empty, the suitcases are packed, only the echo of a life of waves remains. I turned off the light, I closed the door, behind me I leave a twisted shadow. There is no anger, that scream is gone, only the silence that kills the pride. [Verse 2] I took the photos down from the wall, I don't see those smiles anymore. You said "stay", but your voice was spent, we acted out a comedy that was already fake. Time is a thief that gives nothing back, it only teaches us to choose who kills us. [Pre-Chorus – Deep and melancholic piano enters] And I don't cry, I don't have the strength, I only feel the weight of a life born crooked. A ship that leaves, a ship that goes, there is no room left for us... here no more. [Chorus – Explosive, full band enters (martial drums, deep bass)] AND I LET THE SEA TAKE EVERYTHING AWAY, THE KNOTS THAT NEVER FIND A WAY AT ALL. I'M NOT TURNING BACK, I CANNOT STAY, I PACKED MY BAGS TO STOP THE BLEEDING. THE LAST SHIP LEAVES TONIGHT, TAKING AWAY THE DREAMS AND OUR... FLAG. [Verse 3 – Returns to guitar and piano, more rhythmic] The ticket in my hand burns like fire, I watch you sleep, you are still a little... part of me. But staying here is dying a bit every day, better the pain of a jump, than a long return. Forgive me if I don't wake you now, it's easier to leave with the darkness upon me. [Final Chorus – Maximum power, emotional, strings in the background] AND I LET THE SEA TAKE EVERYTHING AWAY! THE KNOTS THAT NEVER FIND A WAY! I'M NOT TURNING BACK, I CANNOT STAY! I PACKED MY BAGS TO STOP THE BLEEDING! THE LAST SHIP LEAVES TONIGHT... AND THERE IS NO RETURN... NO FLAG. [Outro – Everything fades, return to the initial acoustic guitar] The tide ebbs. I am gone. Far away.
