lyrics

Galaxia:
Life is full of old champagne
Why do men fight me all their days?
Courage cannot escape the sea
Youth would not overtake me

Sailors:
When the line in the sand is the Tropic of Cancer
Defending your pride is making up for lost ground
Testing our mettle may be at the cost of our temper
A miracle is free to spend and worth every ounce

Old Woman:
Live without your blade
Today death's hand I'll stay
You don't have to steal a boat to learn from your mistake
