operus - the return lyrics

Loading...

drop anchor;
lower the sails
we are here
now i am standing here where it all began
a place once so close to me now a foreign land

i look up at the sky
i call, and i cry
i’m home

bones buried beneath
the earth at my feet
remains of a people i gravely seek

now i’ve returned
answered the call
the anthem of a people i no longer know

as many moons past
their faces grew strange
afraid of forgetting
i cling to my name
on ventures i swore i’d once return home
not realizing that home is where i roam

under the sky i was birthed
i walk as a stranger
my mind’s eye imagined
i’d find my rest in this place
but my mind could only see
and never know how i feel now i’m in this place

(spoken)
many of us find ourselves forever far away
torn from a home where we never drank from the breast
never tasted life’s milk
surrounded by foreign tongues [to]? adapt and understand in many far off lands
if however you find in the dark a [starkness]? steals your heart
cherish that bright light
and [be it]? hope whenever it is in sight?

a face and voice i remember
not one resembles her
blank stares and empty and empty souls will ne’er fill this hole

set course for the open sea
far away from this land
the only place i can call my home
is where my two feet stand

now
i want nothing more
than to flee these sh-r-s
and leave behind all this
return to the ship

destined for the open sea
let go my past family
follow the winds of time
create what’s truly mine

hear this tale of caution
from a soul destined to roam
cling to your closest ones and cherish your home

sailing the open sea
waves crash
lightning flash
alone in memory
