Sails Lyrics - Singles - Ballydowse

Like pirates off your shores of waste 

our kiss you can forget 

a newborn sense of smell and taste 

for things you've never met 

our nose no longer knows the heel of 

give it more and give it faster 

our pleasures still retain their feel for honor is their master 

three winds fill the sails of my sisters and my brothers 

grace from beyond, scorn from behind, 

and love for each other 

God of all gods father of each holy one 

God of all gods father of each lowly one 

God of all gods like a mother to the orphaned ones 

God of all gods wholly other to the broken half of me 

dim memory brings the shade of lesser days around me 

back before the waking, the time of my founding 

dark was the heart with but its own desires 

when a god will not be tamed, man will serve a liar 

from the shores i saw the sails of my 

sisters and my brothers 

left hehind the old life, born into another 

eighteen years upon these waves storm, salt, and pounding 

i wouldn't trade a minute of the seeing or the doubting 

alive i am in the teeth of faith, few answers i have found 

but the call that brings me back to life, to it i am bound 

three winds fill the sails of my sisters and my brothers 

grace from beyond, scorn from behind, 

and love for each other
