Testo di 'The Return' di Operus

Drop anchor; lower the sails we are here
Now I standing here where it all began
A place once so close to me now a foreign land

I look up at the sky
I call, and I cry, I’m home
Bones buried beneath
The earth at my feet
Remains of my people

I gravely seek
Now I’ve returned
Answered the call
The anthem of a people I no longer know
As many moons passed
Their faces grew strange
Afraid of forgetting I cling to my name

On ventures I swore
I'd once return home
Not realizing that homes is where I roam
Under the sky I was birthed
I walk as a stranger

My mind’s eye imagined I’d find rest in the place
But my mind could only see
And never know how I feel now I’m in this space
A face and voice I remember
Not one resembles her

Drop anchor; lower the sails we are here
Now I standing here where it all began
A place once so close to me now a foreign land

I look up at the sky
I call, and I cry, I’m home
Bones buried beneath
The earth at my feet
Remains of my people

I gravely seek
Now I’ve returned
Answered the call
The anthem of a people I no longer know

As many moons passed
Their faces grew strange
Afraid of forgetting I cling to my name

On ventures I swore
I'd once return home
Not realizing that homes is where I roam

Under the sky I was birthed
I walk as a stranger
My mind’s eye imagined I’d find rest in the place
But my mind could only see

And never know how I feel now I’m in this space
A face and voice I remember
Not one resembles her

Blank stares and empty souls
Will ne’er fill this hole
Set course for the open sea
Far away from this land
The only place I can call my home

Is where my two feet stand
Now I want nothing more
Than to flee these shores
And leave behind all this
Return to the ship

Destined for the open sea
Let go my past family
Follow the winds of time
Create what’s truly mine
Hear this tale of caution

From a soul destined to roam
Cling to your closest ones
And cherish your home
Sailing the open sea
Waves crash lighting flash
Alone in memory
