Dead Men Tell Tall Tales
By Joel & Aida
I've got my eyes on
Spreading out for all to see
That beautiful horizon
Made my way out to sea
The wind hits the sails strong
Inept as I may be
Now then I'm gone
But you have heard of me

They say dead men tell tall tales
What's that they say?

They say leave none
That I left none alive
But if they say so
How did they survive?
Walking from the water where they drew
Their last breath of air
But still I sail beyond the horizon
Only where devils dare

They say dead men tell tall tales
What's that they say?

And if I had another way
I'd never look back
Seek of me what you will
I'm out of your grasp
Upon my walls I keep the ones
Who've chased me before
Now it's you
