Wookie Garcia - St. Brendan's Land

I've heard of this land of promise, now I must see
For myself, if it is the paradise it's made out to be
Let's set sail in the morning, we'll gather provisions and men
It will be several years till we stand on these shores again
We loaded our boats and sailed with fourteen brave souls
Our resolve was as strong as the skin on the floor of the boats
Out in the ocean we saw great towers of glass
That attacked us with their frozen shards as we sailed past
Night after night in this chilly sea
We looked straight into the darkness, my men and me
Months stretched to years and each day the view looked the same
Then we came to an island with mountains and rivers and flames
There was Judas Iscariot who sat all alone on the beach
Where he'd wait for forgiveness forever, it was just out of reach
Night after night in this chilly sea
We looked straight into the darkness, my men and me
Seven years away from our isle, thirteen returned
Our faith was tested but our soul's salvation was earned
When we get back to shore, they'll ask us where we have been
Only you know and I know the truth of the things that we've seen
