Death Defying Lyrics

Ever since the world began

Men have sailed to foreign lands

And the fortunes that they've found

Are now buried in the ground



Some would say the ocean roars

As it stumbles to the shore

But to me it only sings

Of the sorrow that it brings



All my friends are dead

Or they're dying

Empty laughter turns into crying

It's death defying



Well, I barely learned to swim

Just enough to save my skin

Now I'll never sail alone

And my harbour is my home



All our friends are dead

Or they're dying

And our laughter only turns into crying

It's death defying



If there's one thing that I've learned

It's the point of no return

And if that's to be our fate

Now's no time to hesitate
