Ishalem, Ishalem, Ishalem!

Omra                                                                                            
Ancient city of legends and hope
Ship upon a lost shore
Sacred faiths tied to one another
Strain against each other
Walls enclose and yet divide

(Refrain)
Sow the gold of glory
Feed the fires of faith
Claim the heart, the heart of truth
Reap the harvest of hate.

Ishalem, Ishalem, Ishalem!

Adrea
Streets are scoured clean by salty winds
Windows glitter like colored gems
Turrets sparkle with gold
Canals like silver ribbons
Lead us to the heart of all

(Refrain)
Sow the gold of glory
Feed the fires of faith
Claim the heart of truth
Reap the harvest of hate.

(Bridge)
Pilgrims journey to behold you,
Home of wisdom, pure and true,
Even eagles flying high
They can’t see all your majesty.

Ishalem, Ishalem, Ishalem!

Criston
Towers rise beside the sea
Standing guard against our foes

Adrea
No merchant can buy you
No scholar can know you
No priest can bend your will

(Refrain)
Sow the gold of glory,
Feed the fires of faith,
Claim the heart of truth,
Reap the harvest of hate.

Sow the gold of glory,
Feed the fires of faith,
Claim the heart of truth,
Reap the harvest of hate.

Captain Shay
A careless spark and ready blame
Consume the ancient walls in flame.

Omra
And so the war begins. . . .

(Criston)
What’s out there to explore?
I really need to know.
I dream of golden shores
That’s why I long to go.
And all … I’ll miss … is you.
While every day it calls to me,
The Song of the Sea.
(Adrea)
Oceans are wide
Wide as my heart
Hearts hold dreams
Now follow yours
While we’re apart
I’ll dream of you
Let the waves of your dreams
carry you away,
then back home to me.

(Criston)
I yearn to see it all
Each wonder to behold
I must obey the call,
That echoes in my soul.
And all … I’ll miss … is you.

And every day it calls to me,
The Song of the Sea.

(Adrea)
Oceans are wide
Wide as my heart.
Hearts hold dreams.
Now follow yours.
While we’re apart
I’ll dream of you.

Our dreams will keep you close to me
As you sail on the sea.

(Captain Shay)
All that you long for is out there—
Treasure, adventure, and fame.
Lorelei maidens with gold hair
Are already calling your name.

So drink in a breath of the fine salty breeze,
The scent of a rainbow, and ambergris
Come see the wonders with your very own eye —
When you reach the edge of the world, you can fly.

(Criston)
There’s magic in each tide,
A spell upon the sea.
Beyond where charts can guide.
A new world waits for me
And all … I’ll miss … is you.

(Adrea)
Oceans are wide
Wide as my heart
Hearts hold dreams
I’ll dream of you….

The wind will blow your love to me
In the song of the sea.

Oceans are wide
Wide as my heart
Hearts hold dreams
I’ll dream of you….

I am the point
I am the voice
I am the point…

I hear the crowds cheer.
I can taste their fear.
I see them look up to me.
The people believe in me.
I know what they want from me.

I—
I am the point—
The point of their lives
Their lives of desperation.

I am the point.

I hear your advice,
But I roll the dice.
I feel all your wants and needs.
I’ve seen what resentment breeds.
I know what you want from me.

I—
I am the point—
The point of your view
Your view of the world.

(Bridge)
I am the point—
The point of no return.

Am I wrong, am I right
To take up the fight?
I let no one choose for me.
I’m seizing my Destiny.
I know what I have to be.

I—
I am the point—

The point of the sword.
The sword that rules the world.

I—
I am your lord.
I am your voice.
I am the One.
I am the point!

On paper, my words
My thoughts, my love.
I write for your eyes alone
The ink is smeared with a tear, my love.
My heart is lost without you.

Sealed in a bottle
Trusted to the sea
Borne on the waves that surround me.
May the currents and the tides
Be merciful guides
And bring this letter to you.

As winds on these dark seas take me far
I make a wish upon a star
And hope and I pray
These words will find their way
And you’ll read this letter from me.

Sealed in a bottle
Trusted to the sea
Borne on the waves that surround me.
May the currents and the tides
Be merciful guides
And bring this letter to you.

With a strand of your golden hair
My love, may it find you there
This page is filled with yearning.
And all of my heart longs for you…

Bridge
Though I sail beyond the horizon
Though I hear the songs of tempting sirens
Only one voice calls my heart
Your love will bring me home

This paper holds a kiss, my love.
My fondest dreams, my bliss.
And all of my hopes and love, my love
In a letter I send to you.

I wake up each day
as I did before.
I do the same things
And I do them some more.
Seems like no one noticed
the change in my life.
It’s the same
but different.
It’s so different

My clothes are the same
I haven’t changed my hair.
I go to work
and I try to care.
Why does no one notice
the change in my life?
It’s the same
but different.

My mind is only halfway here,
My heart is always halfway there,
Because my other half is otherwhere.
He’s otherwhere….

Bridge
Every hope that I had
sailed with him that day,
And ‘til he’s back at my side
I’ve tucked my dreams away.

It’s so different.

I walk the same streets
and I greet my friends.
But my loneliness
never seems to end.
How could no one notice
this change in my life?
It’s the same
but different.

My mind is only halfway here.
My heart is always halfway there,
Because my other half is otherwhere.
He’s otherwhere….

It’s so different.
It’s so different.
It’s so different.

My faith is an anchor:
It holds me and steadies me,
Keeps me secure.
I believe, I believe.

In what God has shown
In what prophets have known
In words carved in stone
I believe, I believe.

No current too strong
Can pull me along
Or weaken my song.
I believe, I believe.

Like light in a mirror
It couldn’t be clearer
The truth draws me nearer.
I believe, I believe.

But those who refuse,
To honor our views,
What more can they lose,
If they don’t believe?
Won’t believe?

Their faith is an anchor
That drags them down
Until they drown
in the Truth.

I have been blessed
Above all the rest
I have a new quest.
I believe, I believe!
I believe, I believe!

My faith is an anchor
It holds me and steadies me,
Keeps me secure.
I believe, I believe.

(Captain Shay)
Here be monsters
Dangerous reefs
Krakens prowl
The darkest deeps
This is where
Leviathan sleeps.

Ancient legends
Recognize
Ship and treasure
Fool and wise.
These are all
Leviathan’s prize

(Criston)
Don’t know what’s below
Don’t know what’s ahead
Don’t know what’s out there
But we sail to the edge—
The edge of the world!

(Adrea)
Steer the right course
Let the compass guide
You’ll find your way home in the end.

(Captain Shay)

Ships gleam gold
As daylight breaks
Gallant captains
Know the stakes
Ready when
Leviathan wakes

Bold explorers
Fearless roam
Sailing on a
Path of foam
into old
Leviathan’s home

(Criston)
Don’t know what’s below
Don’t know what’s ahead
Don’t know what’s out there
But we sail to the edge—
The edge of the world!

(Adrea)
Steer the right course
Let the compass guide
You’ll find your way home in the end.

(Captain Shay)
Unknown seas
Empty maps
Stirring serpents
Thunder claps
Beware of
Leviathan’s traps

Thick clouds rise
As black as hate
Warning of a
Stormy fate
If we pass
Leviathan’s gate

(Criston)
Don’t know what’s below
Don’t know what’s ahead
Don’t know what’s out there
But we sail to the edge—
The edge of the world!

(Adrea)
Steer the right course
Let the compass guide
When you reach the edge of the world,
You can fly…

It was a day like any other
Morning with blue skies
And then the storm came
And then the world changed.
How can you stop a flame
Blown by the winds of war?

Why did they come here?
What did we do?
Why do they hate us?
What can we do?
Torn by the winds of war.

It was a day like any other
The battle once far away
We see now first-hand
And like a firebrand
It consumes our land
Fanned by the winds of war.

Why did they come here?
What did we do?
Why do they hate us?
What can we do?
Torn by the winds of war.

With fire and fury,
With malice and hate,
They burn and they pillage,
They murder and rape.

Flashing their swords,
They carve out our fate.
We are the spoils of war.

It was a day like any other
Sunset with red skies.
The)storm has awoken
Our spirits are broken.
What more can be spoken
Above the winds of war?

Why did they come here?
What did we do?
Why do they hate us?
What can we do?

It was a day like any other…
And the end of our world.

We are the spoils of war.

(Adrea)
Swept away.
I couldn’t stay.
It all happened so quickly.
Cruel hate,
Cruel fate
That took me from our world.

Well I don’t know where you are,
But my heart is never far
Away from you.

(Criston)
Tempest force
Blown off course
It all happened so quickly.
Ruined now
I don’t know how
You’ll ever wait for me.

Though I don’t know where you are,
Still my thoughts are never far
Away from you.

We’re apart,
But in my heart,
I’m simply swept away.

(Both)
I’ll dream of you,
I’ll dream of you,
Long for you,
Long for you,
But time goes by so slowly
End of rope
At the end of my rope,
Dare I hope
Dare I hope
That love will find a way?

Now I don’t know where you are.
But my hopes
and dreams
and love
are never far
Now I don’t know where you are
Away from you.

How can I bear another day
Away from you?
Away from you?

Can’t fill this hollow
With a swallow
of wine.
No more bleakness.
It’s a weakness
to pine.

I need to find my destiny,
I’m searching for my destiny,
Beyond the horizon.
Beyond the horizon.

Light the darkness
Banish the starkness
of grief.
Rescue ragged hope
from a jagged
dark reef.

I’ll sail to a new destiny
I know I have a destiny
Beyond the horizon.
Beyond the horizon.

She might be waiting there
Oh, will I find her there
beyond the horizon?
Beyond the horizon.

Quench the sorrow
My tomorrow
is here.
Raise my eyes and
My horizon
is near.

I’ll sail to a new destiny,
Embrace my brand new destiny,
Beyond the horizon.
Beyond the horizon.

It’s just waiting there
And I want to find it there
Beyond the horizon.
Beyond the horizon.
Beyond…

On paper, your words, your thoughts, your love.
I read with a pleading heart.
The ink is smeared with a tear, my love,
For my life was lost without you.

Sealed in a bottle, a gift from the sea
Borne on the waves from you to me.
Ah, the currents and tides
were merciful guides,
To bring your letter to me.

As winds on dark seas took you far,
I made a wish upon a star,
And hoped and prayed
that you’d find a way,
To show you remember me.

Sealed in a bottle, a gift from the sea
Borne on the waves from you to me.
Ah, the currents and tides
were merciful guides,
To bring your letter to me.

Though I may have been taken far
To strange lands under distant stars,
I read your note with yearning.
And all my heart longs for you.

Though I’m lost beyond the horizon,
Like I’m stranded on a desert island,
Let my warm voice call your heart.
Let my love bring you to me.

Your warm embrace I miss, my love,
But this paper holds your kiss.
I feel all our hopes and love, my love.
In the letter you sent to me.
