Odysseus

Odysseus From the flames you call my name into the fire I can feel a fate I know I can’t escape In the rain-soaked air, I taste the salt of oceans With my fingers clenched, I reach to take the helm On the wall your ancient myths are carved in stone And my restless heart still lingers there inside So I rise, I’m slowly standing up again From the broken wreck I start to bloom once more I will never let go of the truth I’ve found I will not give in to any tempting call Odysseus Look at me now, look at me now I may shatter but I never truly fall down Now your name is ringing louder in my ears I will turn my path and show a different way I was lost along the road, but now I’m found Odysseus Every step I take is pounding on the stone And the waves below are still twisting in their sleep You stood in the crowd and named me for my sins Every single eye was burning into me Still the mast held on and never bowed or broke Storms that split the clouds grew paler in the sky Now the sea is calling out my name again Even when the wind and rain crash like a drum I remember all the love that I have kept And this kindled heart is blazing hotter still Odysseus Look at me now, look at me now I may shatter but I never truly fall down Now your name is ringing louder in my ears I will turn my path and show a different way I was lost along the road, but now I’m found Odysseus Even if the lowering sky comes crashing down I will never stop, I’m pressing to the end At the edge of dawn my trembling fear grows thin And my endless night is finally fading out I endure the roughest waves, I will not sway With those surging tides I spread my wings and rise Odysseus Look at me now, look at me now I may shatter but I never truly fall down Now your voice is pouring louder in my ears I will turn my path and show a different way I will chase the love I lost so long ago Odysseus
