lyrics
In a cabin in the countryside / I slept for a week / But as the winds of change had flattened every mountain down / Everything I love had turned to dust / I left the cabin for the dark and cold / Stared down eternity, I swear it / And from a distance came a quiet roar / The glacier spoke to me, I swear it / Sail on / Into an endless ocean / Sail on, sail on / Sail on / Into an endless ocean / Sail on, sail on / In a cabin in the
countryside / I slept for a week / But as the winds of change had flattened every mountain down / Everything I love had turned to dust / I left the cabin for the dark and cold / Stared down eternity, I swear it / And from a distance came a quiet roar / The glacier spoke to me, I swear it / Sail on / Into an endless ocean / Sail on, sail on / Sail on / Into an endless ocean / Sail on, sail on//
