Ship Of The Moon

A great man once wrote

That if you call a rose by any other other name

It'll still remain a rose

So, if this is true

Will not a friend called by any other name

Still be a friend?

And what is with a ship that has no sail but carries

You to the stars on a beam of light

Isn't it a ship nevertheless?

I sit here all alone

Staring at the waves

Pretending to be at rest

While the calmness I display is just a facade

I wish a storm would come

To sweep away the peace

To cover for the turmoil inside

That never ceases; it's tearing me apart

I'm strolling through the streets

Of a city at sundown

The sky is bleeding red

While ignorance blesses those who will not see

So it is me who sees

I know what must be done

I'll have to seek the oceans of starlight

And don't expect me to ever turn around

Whatever it takes

I'll never look back

There will be an answer on the path that lies ahead

Will we find the answers

To questions not yet asked

Will we see the future

From far above

Or will we stay

Bound in time?

The sunlight, the moonlight

That shines within my soul

It shall not desert me

While I'm away

I'm not astray

Getsufune

Another day has come

I'm far above the earth

It never quite felt like home

Now I'm staring at the void and I'm relieved

This could be my last day

Well, I am not afraid

As the ship is gathering away

I realize that the turmoil stays behind
