Distant Shores Lyrics by Taken

Taken

2016

Goodbye dear father, goodbye dear mother
I bid you farewell, set off and sail
I've heard the stories
Tales of glory, wealth and fame
My essence remains
Upon my return nothing will be the same
The eternal ocean lies before my eyes
As we keep course to the northern sky
The distant shore it's just a dream ahead
The stars will be the compass
That leads us to our destiny
The rum flows through our veins
With the rhythm of a pirate song
When suddenly at the horizon a prey appears
We're ready to take the loot
Clash of wood, law of the sword
Blood on the deck, fire and death
They fought till the last breath but they lost
A new day, an old quest to enjoy, if you are still alive
The eternal ocean lies before my eyes
As we keep course to the northern sky
The distant shore just a dream ahead
We are the called to reign in the seven seas
The stars will be the compass
That leads us to our destiny
The rum flows through our veins
With the rhythm of a pirate song
Split the gold between the damned
No regrets in our world
The rum flows through our veins
With the rhythm of a pirate song
Drink until our lives get lost in the sea
We are the chosen ones
