The Voyage Home Songtext
von The Cog Is Dead

On a lost
Unknown
Small island in the sea
The shore
Is strewn
With airship debris
A sole
Survivor
Climbs out
To the deck
He screams out loud
As he stares at the wreck

"Oh, dear Lord, what have I done?
I′ve brought this on everyone.
Such despair, though I meant well
I'm so sorry, Michelle..."


He mourned all his crewman
And honoured their lives
Who sacrificed all
So that he could survive
He swore that their deaths would not happen in vain
He stiffened his lip
And he swallowed his pain
He though of his wife and the letter he wrote
That note in the bottle
That he set afloat
Had she yet seen it
Or was there still time
To prove he′s alive...

"Oh Michelle, I'm on my way
I'll hold you again someday
Over land or the above
I will come back home"

So he searched
The ship′s remains
And found a compass
And some grain
He built a raft from large debris
And sailed into the sea...

As the weeks passed
He tired out
His mind was filled with
Nagging doubt
Wearily
He washed ashore
Beaten to the core


"Oh Michelle
I′ve lost my way.
The sea has awful
Tricks it plays
As I lay here
My eyes lie
Telling me you're nigh."

"Thomas, my dear
Can it be true?
It′s been a year
Is that really you?
Oh, I have cried
As time's passed by
Now you′re home
At last"

"Oh, Michelle
Is this a dream?"
"No, this is real"
"Am I home?
You're here with me?
Did you get my note?"
"I did, but I knew"
"Someday I′d be back with you!"
"Oh, my love, I'm sorry for this all
Please forgive me for my fault
I will love you 'til the end."
"I′ll never leave again."
