Death Defying

Gurus Hoodoo

Ever since the world began


Men have sailed to foreign lands


And the fortunes that they've found


Are now buried in the ground.





Some would say the ocean roars


As it stumbles to the shore


But to me it only sings


Of the sorrow that it brings.





All my friends are dead


Or they're dying.


Empty laughter turns into crying.


It's death-defying.





Well, I barely learned to swim,


Just enough to save my skin.


Now I'll never sail alone,


And my harbour is my home.





All our friends are dead


Or they're dying,


And our laughter only turns into crying,


It's death-defying.





If there's one thing that I've learned,


It's the point of no return


And if that's to be our fate


Now's no time to hesitate.
