Far out on the ocean Exists an island Many have been here She is called Despair Many ships have been Wrecked upon the shore I see it rising there From the misty fog Dark of night Giving way To light of day Familiar landscape A place I have been before Changing course This dark island looms On the horizon of the sea Waves crash upon The hull of my ship As it is pulled by currents Towards the shore I see it rising there From the misty fog Dark of night Giving way To light of day Familiar landscape A place I have been before Sharp rocks line the water Hollows of old ships The bones of shipwrecks Dot the Sea And sirens beckon With hypnotic songs Pulling with magnetic power I see it rising there From the misty fog Dark of night Giving way To light of day Familiar landscape A place I have been before And I have learned From my previous encounters With this precarious place To navigate strong and fast To find the strength And bright light wisdom inside To bring myself to another way
