Into the Arms of the Deep

The sting of salt water is burning my eyes like the sun

As I float on the ocean no compass or direction home

I fought with the captain and tasted the blood of defeat

Put me out on a junk boat and into the arms of the deep

With nothing to guide me, but a will to survive

I feel your presence, here, by my side

I see you dance in the mist of the ocean

I see you shine, as the sun hangs low

I see you reach your arms towards me

You hold my hand, and then you let go

The promise of plenary stole me away from your kiss

A slave to the gentry was never the future I wished

When I protested they branded me rebel and thief

Put out on a junk boat into the arms of the deep

With nothing to guide me, but a will to survive

I feel your presence here by my side I see you

I see you dance in the mist of the ocean

I see you shine, as the sun hangs low

I see you reach your arms towards me

You hold my hand, and then you let go

Let go, let go, let go

Oh, the hunger within me is filling my body with fear

No sign of dry land, I think the end it is near

With a string of regrets as a prayer, oh, I make my peace

Out on a junk boat and into the arms of the

Out on a junk boat and into the arms of the

Out on a junk boat and into the arms of the deep

I feel your presence, here, by my side

I see you dance in the mist of the ocean

I see you shine, as the sun hangs low

I see you reach your arms towards me

And you're calling my name, yeah

I see you dance in the mist of the ocean

I see you shine, as the sun hangs low

I see you reach your arms towards me

You hold my hand, you hold my hand
