12 - When the Waves Call My Name

Lyrics: [Intro – Instrumental] ... ... ... [Vocalisms] Oooooh aaaah, uuuuuuh uuuuuuh Aaaah aaaah, oooooh oooooh Uuuuh uuuuh uuuuh, aaaah aaaah Oooooh aaaah, oooooh aaaah (Soft rising violins, distant echoes) Uuuuuuh… oooooh… aaaah… [Verse 1] The sky bends low in iron grey, The light is torn and swept away. My vessel trembles in the spray, On broken tides that will not sway. The waters climb along the side, Like silent fears I try to hide. Each crashing wall, each ruthless tide, Feels like the war I keep inside. [Instrumental – Violins / Swell] Violins tremble, thin and high, Like sharp white streaks across the sky. Oooooh aaaah, uuuuh uuuuh Aaaah aaaah, oooooh oooooh [Instrumental] ... ... ... [Pre-Chorus] Oooooh aaaah aaaah aaaah, Uuuuuuh uuuuh uuuuh uuuuh, The mast may crack, the ropes may slide, Still I refuse to drown inside. Oooooh aaaah, uuuuh uuuuh [Chorus – Rhythmic / Catchy / Layered Vocals] Oooooh aaaah, I face the tide, Uuuuh uuuuh, though torn aside. The waves may roar, the winds may cry, But hope still burns and will not die. Aaaah aaaah, I hold the line, Oooooh oooooh, this heart is mine. Uuuuuuh uuuuuuh aaaah aaaah [Instrumental] ... ... ... [Vocalisms] Oooooh aaaah, uuuuuuh uuuuuuh Aaaah aaaah, oooooh oooooh Uuuuh uuuuh, aaaah aaaah Oooooh aaaah… uuuuh… [Vocalisms] Oooooh aaaah, uuuuuuh uuuuuuh Aaaah aaaah, oooooh oooooh Uuuuh uuuuh, aaaah aaaah Oooooh aaaah… uuuuh… [Instrumental Interlude] Violins racing, wild and bright, Like silver arrows in the night. Oooooh aaaah, uuuuh uuuuh Aaaah aaaah aaaah aaaah [Verse 2] The hull drinks deep the rising sea, Cold doubt pours over me. Each splintered board, each groaning beam, Breaks like the edge of every dream. The compass spins in frantic flow, No steady star to guide below. Yet far beneath the fear and foam, A quiet pulse still beats like home. [Instrumental – Soft / Echoing Violins] Slow long bows in trembling air, Like whispered prayers through despair. Uuuuuuh… oooooh… aaaah… [Instrumental] ... ... ... [Pre-Chorus] Oooooh aaaah aaaah aaaah, Uuuuuuh uuuuh uuuuh uuuuh, The storm may press with crushing might, Still something in me stands to fight. Oooooh aaaah, uuuuh uuuuh [Chorus – Stronger / Layered / Echo] Oooooh aaaah, I face the tide, Uuuuh uuuuh, though torn aside. The sea may rise and swallow sky, Still I refuse to say goodbye. Aaaah aaaah, I claim my breath, Oooooh oooooh, from fear and death. Uuuuuuh aaaah aaaah oooooh [Instrumental Interlude] Violins spiraling sharp and fast, Like memories of storms long past. Rapid swells and rising cry, Like seabirds cutting through the sky. Oooooh aaaah, uuuuh uuuuh Aaaah aaaah aaaah aaaah [Bridge – Breakdown / Almost A Cappella] Uuuuuuh… uuuuh… Oooooh aaaah… aaaah… If all must break before rebirth, Let waves strip me down to worth. If I must sink to rise again, Let loss dissolve what was my chain. Oooooh aaaah aaaah aaaah Uuuuuuh uuuuh uuuuh uuuuh [Instrumental] A trembling hush replaces roar, The raging sea is wild no more. [Final Chorus] Oooooh aaaah, a light appears, Uuuuh uuuuh, beyond my fears. A fragile ray through broken sky, A golden breath where storms ran high. Aaaah aaaah, the waters slow, Oooooh oooooh, soft currents flow. Uuuuuuh aaaah aaaah oooooh [Outro] Oooooh aaaah aaaah aaaah Uuuuuuh uuuuh uuuuh uuuuh The ship still worn, but floating free, Perhaps there’s hope beyond the sea. Oooooh aaaah, oooooh aaaah Uuuuuuh… uuuuuuh… aaaah… Oooooh… Aaaah… Uuuuuuh…
