The waves crash hard against the shore
A land betrayed forever at war.
The silent sea it swallows the brave
A watery tomb an unmarked grave.
Desperate hands row toward the night
Chasing freedom fleeing fright.
The horizon calls but the cost is high
For liberty's taste so many die.
Silent sea a merciless tide
Holds the dreams of those who died.
Freedom's call a haunting song
To the brave who don't belong.
Black waters hide the broken cries
Of mothers' tears and fathers' goodbyes.
The stars bear witness to the fight
As lives are lost in the endless night.
The shore behind the unknown ahead
Between two hells the living and dead.
Hope is frail a fleeting flame
In this deadly endless game.
The current drags the storm grows wild
Freedom feels like a distant child.
For every one who makes it through
A thousand more will never do.
Silent sea a merciless tide
Holds the dreams of those who died.
Freedom's call a haunting song
To the brave who don't belong.
The silent sea knows no remorse
It charts a dark and deadly course.
But through the storm a beacon gleams
The hope of freedom still redeems.
