Lyrics
The Shellback
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Born on the coast, raised by the sea
Dreaming of tidals and reefs
Adventurous call freedom to breathe
Straight right on the high seas
Stories collecting, resisting the fear
Discovering what is behind
A fire inside revealing his fate
The secrets blocked by the mind
The sea was calling loud and clear
The dice has fallen, deciding his fate of a seer
The shellback is telling stories untold
Of islands and reefs, silver and gold
Revealing secrets that future might hold
Conspiracies, murder and sin
At the black hand inn
Back to the grove, swinging his axe
Working straight on the shack
Leading him back to where he belongs
Fate's undoubted tracks
The sea was calling loud and clear
The dice has fallen, deciding his fate of a seer
The shellback is telling stories untold
Of islands and reefs, silver and gold
Revealing secrets that future might hold
Conspiracies, murder and sin
At the black hand inn
