f the course!
SAIL! The vision blurs!
SAIL! Where are the shores?
Nobody knows!

SAIL! Alive or dead!
SAIL! Towards the dread!
SAIL! Full speed ahead!
“Call Ipso” goes!

Now the ocean’s on fire,
It roars with desire
To drown a few souls gone astray

And this sunset will be
The last thing that we see
‘Cause we’re sailing to nowhere today

Bridge:
If you have no guts, milord,
Throw your weak self overboard!

Chorus

In the arms of undertow
Sink into the great below…

2. “LONELY DREAMER”

Another night to play pretence
Another chilling cold to sense

The snowflakes falling to the ground
A fairy-tale without a sound

Chorus:
Oh, will the sun arise
Out of the blue?
Oh, will the angels ever come
To cover you?

My lonely dreamer…

Another winter to forget
The buried hopes and to regret

Snow-covered feelings that disguise
The heart of fury and of ice

Chorus

My lonely dreamer…

3. “OBLIVION”

There used to be a sweet, divine
And peaceful sanctuary of mine…

Tell me
How can it be?
All that I cherished
Has left behind

Help me
Don’t let me see
Fantasies perish,
Memories unwind

Bridge:
Lost and frozen to the bone,
In my arms you’re so alone

I sink into oblivion, my dear…

Chorus:
Sink into oblivion, no fear
I’m going down so quiet
Don’t even try to fight it
I sink into oblivion, my dear

Falling
Through the time
Carefully wrapped
In lies, I can’t sever

Calling
Rhyme after rhyme
What if I am trapped
Here forever?

Bridge:
Like a child, so naive,
In my arms you hardly breathe

I sink into oblivion, my dear…

Chorus

4. “CARRY ME AWAY”

I have no more words to say
No more tears to display
No more values to betray

Carry me away

Silence must have come to stay
Would be foolish to obey
And if it’s the only way

Carry me away

Chorus:
Somewhere beyond all the lies and pretence
Somewhere where all the things do make sense

Carry me away, oh…

How much will I have to pay
To endure one more day?
Bowing down in grief, I pray

Carry me away

Hold me closer and allay
Pain in my heart, led astray
But if there is no such way

Carry me away

Chorus

Carry me away, oh…

5. “WAKE ME UP”

Contra spem spero

Bridge:
Hope against hope, whatever brings the night
Hope against my very self, scream with fright

Chorus:
Falling, falling
Into darkness
I am calling
Wake me up

Wake me up from the nightmare I’m in…

Even though you are far away, reach out your hand
Wake me up, the pain I no longer can stand

Contra spem spero

Bridge

Chorus

Falling, falling
Losing myself
I am calling
Wake me up

6. “CORPSE BRIDE”

Deep down
In the ocean lying
There is
A dead seaman crying

Tall waves
Grant him salty kisses
They are
Not the ones he misses

Chorus:
He’s falling apart
He’s begging his heart
To subside

He’s been
Seeking her for too long
He’s weak
Father, help him go on

Chorus
