The sun was shining when we boarded our boats
Sedated infants silent hanging from their mothers breasts
Aegean the sea of the dead, it takes a day to lose your home
Aegean the sea of the dead, it takes a moment to lose it all
And even if you run away, miles away
You will never feel safe again, safe again
Aegean the sea of the dead
Aegean we'll never forget
Thirst, hunger, terror and fear a path laid with thorns
The war has brought us only storms
Roaming forevermore, without hope
Aegean the sea of the dead
Aegean we'll never forget
Fight, swim, catch your breath a story full of pain
Find a way or make a way
Your cries are all in vain
Aegean the sea of the dead
Aegean we'll never forget
We close our eyes and deny the call of hunger
We slip away and wonder
Everyday we face the unknown
The chance of survival is slimming in time
Yet the candle of hope burning bright
I know we have reached the end of the line
