lyrics

Endless is my work
Atop of this light
It seems like years
Till we see our family back home

The boat was meant to come
And pick us up today
But the storm keeps raging on
More weeks to work away

Food and water is enough
We’ve weeks to keep us fed
But the tobaccos been smoked up
Withdrawal affects us all

I can see the men grow weak
Their faces turn away
Sapping of the strength
Passing of the day

The crashing of the waves
Wash away my hope
And the endless wind
Erodes my soul

Passing on the torch
The youngest Keeper walks on through
Waves away my hand
As he passes by

No expression on his face
Turned a deathly pale
Staring at the waves
As they come crashing in

I try to speak to him
Ask him how he feels
No matter how I try
He doesn’t speak

Usually we talk
Laugh and joke away
So I leave to go to bed
My friends not here tonight

The crashing of the waves
Wash away my hope
And the endless wind
Erodes my soul
