[Verse 1]
A mariner under a sky moonlit
On an island of a crewless ship
A few decades of immortality ahead
A one-man crew for a one-way trip
Islands, islands everywhere
I keep my range with crowded sails
My waves, they kiss every shore I land
Steep cliffs will mock my waving hand

[Verse 2]
Islanders, villagers, universal mariners
Calling me, guiding me, monsters far beneath
Hurricanes on the way, lunatic weathervanes
Shipwrecked lovers on a faraway cay
Passing by butterflies, fluttering for a day
Jokers, jesters, Goddesses, hominidae
Deep delicious blue beneath
I'll steer wherever tomorrow is near

[Pre-Chorus]
Light a beacon so I can navigate
Through the tempest, through the madness
Light a homefire for the sad man with a begging hand
Light a beacon so I can navigate
Through the tempest following the quintet
Ride on the highest wave
Bring me to life
To them who dance in the daylight

[Chorus]
Sail and seek
The starbound quay
Calling you, calling me
To be a part of your story

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Here raining ash to cover the dead
An island of the past wrecks
Of you, of the endless sundown
Hemlock meadows, deepest quicksand
Empty harbor by a wasteland
Mirrors, mirrors, everywhere
For you of mad despair

[Refrain]
Friends, who were for a time
Now grapes of sour wine
Lords of a single fly
Still, I rue no island of shared solitude

[Bridge]
You who glow in deepest woe
Let it be, retiree, the water's fine
Sail carefree

[Chorus]
Sail and seek
The starbound quay
Calling you, calling me
To be a part of your story
On these strange islands
