Departure Lyrics

Has it been a year or has it been twelve?
Since I've seen your face on these shores of hell
Left my home a boy, thirsty for the blade
Rite of passage, a man I was made

Where have you been, lad?
A dream of yours
Why didn't you seek me?
In the name of glory you left survivors
Now you will help me sail far away


For crown and throne
Seeds of conquest were sown
For glory and gold
I endured the most bitter cold
Sail with me, boy
I'll take ye home, home, home

A kraken slain and a storm did rage
Taken by savages for many a day
A labyrinth found from a time before man
Commanded by a force you can't understand

Where have you been, lad?
A dream of yours
Why didn't you seek me?
In the name of glory you left survivors
Now you will help me sail far away

For crown and throne
Seeds of conquest were sown
For glory and gold
I endured the most bitter cold
Sail with me, boy
I'll take ye across the sea

Now I set forth from this land
My place in life I do understand
This tale of conquest lies incomplete
To never wield a sword is no defeat
