Lead Sails (and a Paper Anchor) Songtext
von Atreyu

Marching along, like a good soldier does
I′m setting sail, with anchors holding me down
Pack up my bags, stow them away (stow them away)
Bidding farewell to all that is safe

Will I come up for air, come up for air?
After a while, the current is calling me, lulling me, waving goodbye
I'm out here alone, oh God, can you save me now?
Sinking, my heart turns to stone

Withering away, a shrinking violet dies
So full of life, these lights have dried me out
Into the sea, needed a drink
I never thought this would consume me whole


Will I come up for air, come up for air?
After a while, the current is calling me, lulling me, waving goodbye
I′m out here alone, oh God, can you save me now?
Sinking, my heart turns to stone (turns to stone)
Sinking, my heart turns to stone

Save me, take me home (over and over again)
Save me, take me home (wishing that this all would end)
Save me, take me home (over and over again)
Save me, take me home (wishing that this all would end)

After a while, the current is calling me, lulling me, waving goodbye (goodbye)
I'm out here alone, oh God, can you save me now?
Sinking, my heart turns to stone
After a while the current is calling me, lulling me, waving goodbye
I'm out here alone, oh God, can you save me now?
Sinking, my heart turns to stone (turns to stone)
Sinking, my heart turns to stone


Save me, take me home (will I come up for air?)
Save me, take me home (will I come up for air?)
Save me, take me home
Over and over again
Save me, take me home (wishing that this)
Wishing that all this would end
