Alessio Felicioni - The Voyage
After all the trouble I've been through since the day I embarked on this journey
I feel like I am not halfway yet
I've lost awareness of the time passing
All the days I spent bent on a pile of books
Searching for something in the tangible areas of knowledge
Only to discover I had to uncover something so distant
From what I believe is the line between what's ethical and what's not
That I don't even remember the moment I crossed that line
Now I'm here on this old weathered boat
Creaking under every bloody wave that hits the keel, sailing in hiding
On this voyage towards unknown lands
To search for unknown things
So that I could discover unknown properties
Of an unknown piece of unknown matter
Did I say "unknown"?
That is encouraging, for sure
But it's the only way, I guess
I still have the old Carson's voice drilling a hole through my brain
If you don't sail, we won't know. If you sail, we might know
I wish I could have had this chance 20 years ago, but… it's your turn now, Chip
Wrinkly bastard
But he's right for sure, I am the lucky winner of a trip
Fifteen thousand kilometres from home just to search for a trace
That is correct: a trace left by an adventurer which might
Or might not have found out something about that "mineral" we discovered
I guess there's no point in complaining now
I should get back to the crates in the hold of the ship
Like I'm some kind of ware to be delivered… but again, not complaining
According to what I've heard eavesdropping on a conversation
Between the captain and what looked like to be
A very wealthy merchant, we should arrive in a matter of a few days
Which means that I'll soon be able to stomp my feet on a solid ground
With no water underneath
I'll go seek cover now, but I have to admit that
Even though this black water scares the hell out of me
I'm starting to find it fascinating
Wouldn't think that anymore if this heap of wood were to sink
C'mon, it's almost time to find out if I will ever be able
To shoot a damned photograph through an actual eye
