The Black Sea
by CJ Frei
Lyrics
Verse 1
No harbor lights...
No mountain walls...
Only darkness without end.
The sea stretched farther than the eye...
Where earth and heaven seemed to bend.
The cold wind carved our weathered faces
The waves showed neither friend nor foe
Every sunrise earned another mile...
Into waters no Spartan knew.
---
Pre-Chorus
Feel the cold!
(Feel the cold!)
Face the tide!
(Face the tide!)
The edge of Greece...
(The edge of Greece!)
Lies beyond our pride!
---
Chorus
THE BLACK SEA!
(BLACK SEA!)
Dark as endless night!
(Endless night!)
The Sons of the Wolf...
Still chase the dawn...
Though hidden from our sight!
THE BLACK SEA!
(BLACK SEA!)
No fear in our eyes!
(No fear!)
Where others see...
The end of the world...
We see...
Another sunrise!
---
Verse 2
The gulls no longer knew these shores
The stars seemed strange above the mast
The stories told around the fire
Could guide us only through the past
The sea cared nothing for our names
Nor all the battles we had won
Out here...
Every man...
Was simply...
Another sailor...
Facing the storm.
---
Pre-Chorus
One more wave!
(One more wave!)
One more mile!
(One more mile!)
Courage wears...
(Courage wears!)
A steady smile!
---
Chorus
THE BLACK SEA!
(BLACK SEA!)
The storm became our guide!
(Our guide!)
Every pull...
Every prayer...
Kept hope alive!
THE BLACK SEA!
(BLACK SEA!)
Hear the timbers cry!
(Hear them cry!)
The Wolf Banner...
Still flies...
Beneath the darkest sky!
---
Bridge
The sea...
Doesn't know...
Who conquered Persia.
The sea...
Doesn't care...
Who wore a crown.
It asks...
One question...
Can you endure...
When everything...
Around you...
Says...
Turn back?
(NEVER TURN BACK!)
---
Final Chorus
THE BLACK SEA!
(BLACK SEA!)
The edge of all we'd known!
(All we'd known!)
No map...
No king...
No legend...
Could bring us home!
THE BLACK SEA!
(BLACK SEA!)
Yet still we carried on!
(Carried on!)
For every Son of the Wolf...
Knows courage...
Is brightest...
Just before...
The dawn!
---
Outro
The sea was black...
The sky was black...
But the Wolf Banner...
Never disappeared.
