Edge of the Map

The Wise Man's Fear

Letra

    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
