Edge of the Map lyrics

I locked my soul in glass Sealed it in blood-red wax I cast it out to sea In case they don't find me Dear reader if my words survived And I have not come back Be sure I chased my fate Past the edge of the map Into the jaws of death we go and go and go Here we go And around, and around we go Spinning webs, pulling threads of gold Then a coin slips Then the wind shifts Embark Now it's hunt or become the mark Now it's steel flashes in the dark Keep your wits up And your eyes down Inescapable destiny denied Collapsed into your pride The words heard on the wind Were vapors of a lie If you follow me You're gonna sail until you pass the edge Of every map Across the sea Into the blue oblivion Where no man's been You let the latent chaos roam With death we go Beast and man dare not behold The hunger of the northern fold Never let your courage fail And tidal anger shan't prevail Steel yourselves run up the mast The sea has us alone at last Every man pray for the shore May ne'er we see the ocean floor Forget now the touch of land (forget the old land) And pray ye see your homes again (and pray for your homes) Never let your eyes find peace Until the ocean's maw ye leave Heave n ho for north we go (you'll never find peace until you) To sail the nightmare past the shore Cast away farewell the day (escape from the maw) And flee before the ocean fray If you follow me You're gonna sail until you pass the edge Of every map Across the sea Into the blue oblivion Where no man's been You live life on your knees Bound hand and foot to your father Well it looks to me Like you're cannon fodder Yeah cannon fodder Eyes up, up, up, up, up Here there be monsters At every turn there's peril So don't listen to the sirens Singing out for Sweet, deep sleep If you don't turn your back it's Death, death, death, death
