The Iron Republic Part 2: The Fierceness And TheBlackness Lyrics

The decision was taken

Head for the passage in the wall

But for four days without respite

The harshest gale did fall

In the fierceness and the blackness

They feared that they would wreck

Impossible to see

The topmast from the deck

When the storm finally eased

The wall could not be seen

Entirely lost their reckoning

Adrift 'til day fourteen

At last the wall returned to view

The crew felt such relief

They could see the opening passing through

Intact was their belief

Guarded by two promontories

Standing tall and vast

Between Scylla and Charybdis

They would have to pass

They sailed to take a cautious look

But the wind had all but stalled

The current took hold upon the boat

And dragged them through the wall

For weeks they travelled in the hope to find

The edge of the enclosed sea

But as weather grew milder

It was clear that it wasn't to be

They navigated straight and true

Two months since they'd passed through

Birds and driftwood told their tale

To the horizon and its lights

They would have to sail
