The ancient breath Songtext / Lyric

White coat Hypertension - The Ancient Breath

We´d gone on an expedition to an unknown place

in that giant ship with steady wind in our sails.

The captain was a quiet man, and though he seemed to know,

he didn´t say a word about we were to go.



Sometimes I would have wished that we´d stopped for a while.

Sometimes when the sun would be so kind.



There were many on board of this ship but a few of these

impressed me, or I noticed them, at least.

The man in the black coat with that significant expression on his face;

to hell, he said, we´d sail, to death we´d race.



Sometimes I would have wished that we´d stopped for a while.

Sometimes when the sun would be so bright and shine on our faces.



But on and on we rolled on to that point beneath the sky,

waiting for the day that it would come in our sight.

And on and on we sailed into the distance with the breeze,

driven by the ancient breath that never would have ceased.



The woman with the colourful dress would stand on the bow,

the promised land ´n´ good fortune us to show.

And that happy child there would stand by the rail

to watch the whales and dolphins on our tail.



Sometimes I would have wished that we´d stopped for a while.

Sometimes when the sun would be so bright and shine on our faces.



But on and on we rolled on to that point beneath the sky,

waiting for the day that it would come in our sight.

And on and on we sailed into the distance with the breeze,

driven by the ancient breath that never would have ceased.



Oooh, who were you on that ship, the woman, the man, the child or just someone else?

Oooh, who were you on that ship? Would you be noticed or were you just someone else?



The storms, they passe, the boat it ran,

the sun, it set, the days began.

They passed us by. The dolphins played,

the flying fish, along they swayed,

they didn´t care, if we would care,

if the sun would be so kind to shine on our faces.



Sometimes I would have wished that we´d stopped for a while.

Sometimes when the sun would be so bright and shine on our faces.



But on and on we rolled on to that point beneath the sky,

waiting for the day that it would come in our sight.

And on and on we sailed into the distance with the breeze,

driven by the ancient breath that never would have ceased.

But on and on we rolled on to that point beneath the sky,

waiting for the day that it would come in our sight.

And on and on we sailed into the distance with the breeze,

driven by the ancient breath that never would have ceased.



....never would have ceased, never would have ceased.

Now that night is gently falling, let´s lie down to sleep
