The Furthest Shore 가사

So long ago, I set out to sea, forsaken by god and man Visions of passion, glory and gold beckoned from distant lands I left behind all I had known, aspiring to live, love, and conquer Unaware that these futile pursuits would only yield a drifting sepulchre Desperate I have traversed The seas of Sorrow Aimlessly drifting for many a year, cursing this fated endeavor Hopeless, I accept that the solace I've sought will elude me forever Straining against the maelstrom unbound, my limbs frailed and broken Splintered apart after storm upon storm, my heart and hopes have sunken Desolate I have succumb to the seas of Sorrow Tortured memories of sailing and searching, finding and failing Eroding the will to further resist the waves violent churning Bereft of strength I've lost hold of the dream now sinking in sorrow Falling helpless to the waters raging below For a fleeting moment I clutched the debris of my vessel now flotsam a futile attempt of an overcome man to fend off the ocean I know it is hopeless when I see the approach of the conquering wave that has come to carry me to my watery grave Washed ashore, succumb to the sea the waves force upward my lifeless eyes to watch the sun set for the last time Only in death, would peace be mine
