I'm going out over the sea
I've got a boat, I've got a dream
I trim the sails with my own hands
Leave all my thought back on the land

I'm going out over the sea
I won't be back until I'm free

I hear a voice, a siren's review
I hear it calling out of the blue
A song of a strange unbearable thing
It grows in the water, it goes unseen

I'm going out over the sea
Hearing the song I've come to see

What is this monster in the gyre?
All that's thrown over the side
And I want to know...

How we live in a world that provides and expires
How we grow, come to know our hearts desire

I'm going out over the sea
All I have heard, all I have seen
We are all out, out in a dream
We are a boat, we are the sea

After all the rise and fall is all that still remains
