Lyrics:
Let me recount a tale of yore
A tale of the emerald sea
A tale of a sailor more foolish than wise
Fools find their tragedy
From birth it was wrote a legend of lore
Her life all tangled in fate
She was a sailor more destined than taught
Heedless of its weight
She thought not for charts and she thought not for maps
Her compass it always stayed true
She was a sailor more poised than prepared
When her sword she drew
A leviathan’s bite is larger than life
A darkness ne’er believed
She was a sailor more brazen than right
From darkness under eaves
Her compass led straight to the heart of the beast
Needled her heart to go on
She was a sailor more endless than true
She and the beast now one
So if you catch wind on the emerald sea
Of a beast beyond the leaves
Go be a sailor both foolish and wise
And you, too, can break free
You, too, can break free (x2)
