Over salt water and on to the island

To find a shelter there

The age of defenses cover the watchmen

Call another to the tender

Were calling freedom or isolation

Hidden from the changing water

Making an island making a heaven

Hold each other to the water

Oh

The days when the tide reaches all face the dark

The water will shape us the title will owe us

To gather what we can find

Losing the main land never repeating

Leave it floating in the water

Oh

The days when the tide crosses the line reaches all face the dark

We tell the children what we remember

So that they know what they are

The children of eagers the yes of the empire

All this conquer down the water

Oh

The days when the tide crosses the line reaches all face the dark

Face the dark
