  1. On the first of December

    On the first of December

  2. I was commissioned to sail away

    I was tasked to set sail

  3. On a ship that was sinking

    On a vessel that was going down

  4. Forty nights and forty days

    For forty nights and forty days

  5. And while I went under

    And as I sank below

  6. The tears of a murdered land

    The tears of a broken land

  7. Were turning the earth into sand

    Turned the soil into sand

  8. I'm too cold to be sleeping

    I'm too cold to be sleeping

  9. So I light up a candle of regret

    So I light a candle of regret

  10. To burn the secrets I'm keeping

    To scorch the secrets I'm hiding

  11. And pray that someday I can forget

    And pray that someday I can forget

  12. The cries of my people

    The cries of my people

  13. The voices of doubt inside my head

    The voices of doubt inside my head

  14. I think of the things that you said

    I think of the things that you said

  15. Am I alone here?

    Am I alone here?

  16. Are there others like me too

    Are there others like me too

  17. Safe in my capsule

    Safe in my capsule

  18. Unable to move

    Unable to move

  19. How long has it been now?

    How long has it been now?

  20. And where will this journey end?

    And where will this journey end?

  21. Will it end, ohhh yeah

    Will it end, ohhh yeah

  22. I got the hands of a farmer

    I got the hands of a farmer

  23. The worlds of a preacher's tongur

    The worlds of a preacher's tongue

  24. Got the heart of a sailor

    Got the heart of a sailor

  25. To believe till your work is done

    To believe till your work is done

  26. I will stand in the ocean

    I will stand in the ocean

  27. With these wooden planks under my feet

    With these wooden planks under my feet

  28. I will come to your table

    I will come to your table

  29. After my journey's complete

    After my journey's complete

  30. Yeah oh oh

    Yeah oh oh

  31. I believe in the future

    I believe in the future

  32. I can feel the blood rising in my veins

    I can feel the blood rising in my veins

  33. It's the sound of a battle cry

    It's the sound of a battle cry

  34. When only the echo remains

    When only the echo remains

  35. I will serve you forever

    I will serve you forever

  36. I will build you a nation of love

    I will build you a nation of love

  37. I'm relying on luck, oh God

    I'm relying on luck, oh God

  38. The fourleaf clover from a dove

    The fourleaf clover from a dove

  39. And isn't it crazy

    And isn't it crazy

  40. For me to start life brand new

    For me to start life brand new?

  41. And when I find Ararat

    And when I find Ararat

  42. The first thing that I do

    The first thing that I do

  43. Stright across the country-side

    Straight across the countryside

  44. And nap in that sweet sunlight

    And nap in that sweet sunlight

  45. Yeah

    Yeah

  46. And I'll be singing a love song

    And I'll be singing a love song

  47. For my, my dear dear wife

    For my, my dear dear wife

  48. And nap in that sweet sunlight

    And nap in that sweet sunlight

  49. Before the night is over

    Before the night is over

  50. And I'll be crying on your shoulder

    And I'll be crying on your shoulder

  51. My wild imagination

    My wild imagination

  52. Is keeping me from losing patience

    Is keeping me from losing patience

  53. Why did you make us

    Why did you make us

  54. Only to tear us away?

    Only to tear us away?

  55. And why have you chosen me?

    And why have you chosen me?

  56. It was your fault anyway

    It was your fault anyway

Noah

On the first of December

On the first of December

I was commissioned to sail away

I was tasked to set sail

On a ship that was sinking

On a vessel that was going down

Forty nights and forty days

For forty nights and forty days

And while I went under

And as I sank below

The tears of a murdered land

The tears of a broken land

Were turning the earth into sand

Turned the soil into sand

I'm too cold to be sleeping

I'm too cold to be sleeping

So I light up a candle of regret

So I light a candle of regret

To burn the secrets I'm keeping

To scorch the secrets I'm hiding

And pray that someday I can forget

And pray that someday I can forget

The cries of my people

The cries of my people

The voices of doubt inside my head

The voices of doubt inside my head

I think of the things that you said

I think of the things that you said

Am I alone here?

Am I alone here?

Are there others like me too

Are there others like me too

Safe in my capsule

Safe in my capsule

Unable to move

Unable to move

How long has it been now?

How long has it been now?

And where will this journey end?

And where will this journey end?

Will it end, ohhh yeah

Will it end, ohhh yeah

I got the hands of a farmer

I got the hands of a farmer

The worlds of a preacher's tongur

The worlds of a preacher's tongue

Got the heart of a sailor

Got the heart of a sailor

To believe till your work is done

To believe till your work is done

I will stand in the ocean

I will stand in the ocean

With these wooden planks under my feet

With these wooden planks under my feet

I will come to your table

I will come to your table

After my journey's complete

After my journey's complete

Yeah oh oh

Yeah oh oh

I believe in the future

I believe in the future

I can feel the blood rising in my veins

I can feel the blood rising in my veins

It's the sound of a battle cry

It's the sound of a battle cry

When only the echo remains

When only the echo remains

I will serve you forever

I will serve you forever

I will build you a nation of love

I will build you a nation of love

I'm relying on luck, oh God

I'm relying on luck, oh God

The fourleaf clover from a dove

The fourleaf clover from a dove

And isn't it crazy

And isn't it crazy

For me to start life brand new

For me to start life brand new?

And when I find Ararat

And when I find Ararat

The first thing that I do

The first thing that I do

Stright across the country-side

Straight across the countryside

And nap in that sweet sunlight

And nap in that sweet sunlight

Yeah

Yeah

And I'll be singing a love song

And I'll be singing a love song

For my, my dear dear wife

For my, my dear dear wife

And nap in that sweet sunlight

And nap in that sweet sunlight

Before the night is over

Before the night is over

And I'll be crying on your shoulder

And I'll be crying on your shoulder

My wild imagination

My wild imagination

Is keeping me from losing patience

Is keeping me from losing patience

Why did you make us

Why did you make us

Only to tear us away?

Only to tear us away?

And why have you chosen me?

And why have you chosen me?

It was your fault anyway

It was your fault anyway
