I lost my best friend out on the sea
Deadly waves took her and left me to grieve
I had a brother the bravest there was
The battle field left me alone with my loss

I left my mother alone for a month
Came back to silence where she was once
I lost my true love one sad rainy spring
While fighting for freedom was shot by the king

Red green and black are the books on my shelf
If words won't make a difference I'll keep them to myself
But ink on white pages will one day mean the end of the world
As we know it

I lost my best friend out on the sea

Red green and black are the books on my shelf
If words won't make a difference I'll keep them to myself
Black ink on white pages will one day mean the end of the world
