Race The Seas

In this maze of green and white
in a forest dark and wild
In have been before or will I be?
I lost my sense of time

Three years I roamed in hell alone
I felt like dying but I can't
Suddenly there is a distant voice from outside
so close the book again
and risk a flash of light

I hace to race the seas to regain my honor
to be worthy of loving you, my bride

I wonder is there a place left on earth
or is it gone since I've turned the key?
Only your picture will keep me sane
I can see the prints of your feet on the beach
but at every spot
they are leading away from me
and I fear that with a splashing wave
they are drawn back to the sea

I have to race the seas?

And then the tide will rise again
but you're out of sight
So for a while I'll rest here by the shore
until my future will recur

Now you are stuck under the same old star
and there is no way out, believe me
I have tried them all
So sit down, let's have that whiskey without jar
it seems like yesterday
that I've seen your final fate

There's a trap somewhere around
better watch your step
Don't be brave just let her down
You will drown
and when the lightning strikes you and you die
my precognitions fade
and I see you in another life

I have to race the seas?

And then the tide will rise again?
