Underture Lyrics - Singles - Savatage

Each man has a soul 

That struggles to escape 

And in the shallows of his dreams 

We can often see its wake 

For we all have our secrets 

That we all keep deep inside 

Away from light, in darkest night 

Where it's always safe to hide 

Away from all that we should meet 

Less someone else should share 

That thing that hides inside our soul 

That we pray was never there 

And out upon that ocean 

A lifetime from the shore 

Miguel stood his night watch 

Recalling everything he saw

For he was a deckhand 

Aboard the "maersk dubai" 

He had sailed her round the world 

From hamburg to sendai 

But this trip had been different 

More than any he had known 

For on board there was an evil 

And the evil had been shown 

For halfway through this voyage 

They had found two stowaways 

That the captain had thrown in the sea 

And left them to the waves 

And when he tried to close his eyes 

And pretend he did not know 

The evil did not go away 

But used the time to grow 

Photos 

For later on that same trip 

They found a stowaway once again 

But the captain soon met this one too 

And brought him to the same cold end 

He wondered what that boy thought inside 

Before that final sleep 

When water was all that was around 

And his lungs had screamed breathe deep 

He wondered what went through his mind 

As he gasped for air 

And the last moment when he prayed for help 

To find nobody there 

He wondered to himself 

If he could have been the one 

To stand up at that moment 

And say this cannot be done 

To stand up to the captain 

And say this thing it cannot be 

But there is nothing closer to god on earth 

Than a captain on the sea 

And he was just a deckhand 

With no right to plead the case 

Of this stranger in their midst 

And so he kept his place 

And what is done is done 

And undone cannot be 

And so he pushed it from his mind 

And stared out across the sea
