I was born and raised by the sea, Shy yet proud, 
Learned to stay away from the crowd 
In my home, my lighthouse
101 steps , round and down 
New Years Eve, one night in the town 
Can change one life into eternity 

All I could see, her eyes, 
We got caught in the moment, all of the night 
Taken beyond all lines, 
In silence leaving 'em all behind 

She had found the sails, for the following night 
The town, for her, was getting way too small 
She promised to be mine 
Forever, for that one night

Moments, passion, small defeats 
Concealed emotions, found in me 
You gave life to a brand new me

Crossing the wintry fields, 
The first hour of morning's light 
Warmed by the flame inside, 
The lasting memory of the ending night 

I never had a chance to stop what hit me 
What broke my bones and mauled me
After hours of deep, unwilling sleep
In a cold shelter Fell back in the dark, 
And the hours of the day passed

A nightmare awakes me, blinking light! 
There's no guide, blind ships in the night 
Oh blood red moon, eat away the night 

Darkness covers my lonely soul, 
No one to feed the dying light

Good morn', oh dreadful day, 
I prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of me
For the sails of night, 
Please tell me everything's alright 

My voice in the room broke the silence, 
Everybody killed me with their eyes
What I was to hear made the people cry, 
Impossible for me to keep the tears inside 

All on board the White Pearl have died, 
Coastal reef have tolled their lives 
And you are the light of the night

One thing, I remember, before I fell on the ground
Although I never saw the face, 
A name was inked in his arm 

Love can be like poetry of demons, 
Or maybe God loves complex irony? 
The family name stated I had seen before
Written on her front door 

Silence in the courthouse! 
A presence sealed the room, we both could feel 
The father of her unborn child and me 

All on board the White Pearl had died, 
Coastal reef had tolled their lives 
While I was the guide light 
Back in my tower, run, run, run 
Light is out, I hope to see 
Black oceans beneath rise and swallow me 

One step will take me back inside, another sees my end 
No one can love a man who guarded the light 
Guarded the light, one faithful night, 
Flaming eyes I must confront before I am stated free 

Defining innocence is hell, after all that has past
Building new walls inside, my eternal night
Although they took my heart and dried me up 
Sometimes I still bleed 

Show me the way 
Show me the way 
The light will show me a way on the grisly reefs 
Too many dead ends I see 
I know no soul can save me 
The respect I lost, the measure of a man 

Ten thousand steps down, round and round 
One night on the town and I'm hell bound 
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me 
All on board the White Pearl had died, 
Coastal reef come claim my life 
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me 

My little tower, seal my fate 
Help me pay back, end their hate 
Black oceans beneath come and swallow me 
One direction, down, down, down 
Pitch black night for my old town 
Black oceans beneath shall now swallow me 

I hereby, commit my body to the deep 
To return to the corruption 
Looking for the resurrection of the body 
When the sea shall give up her dead 
And the life of the road to come through our Lord 
Amen
