Don't say the words, don't answer their echoes
Steel all expression and stand at the helm
Don't deny what's true, just pronounce the unknown
Maybe they'll believe after another little while
The shepherd's leaving port, with all his flock aboard
Leaving paradigms fading behind
Sheltering their dreams, keeping up their hopes
All the way until the day it all falls apart
Set sails to the edge of the world
Never the reach the land
Always keep your silver close at hand
To pierce the hearts of men
Who claim to see the land
And trust no one with the truth
You know we're all aboard the ship of fools
The silence is the worst, yet it's just begun
It's taking all my strength not to scream your name
Yet it's not farewell, for nothing ever ends
I'm sailing circles never reaching far from home
Set sails to the edge of the world
Never the reach the land
Always keep your silver close at hand
To pierce the hearts of men
Who claim to see the land
And trust no one with the truth
You know we're all aboard
Always keep your silver close at hand
To pierce the hearts of men
Who claim to see the land
And trust no one with the truth
You know, you know
Always keep your silver close at hand
To pierce the hearts of men
Who claim to see the land
And trust no one with the truth
We're doomed as hell, is it not just as well
A kindness to claim something else
