Woken from this restless sleep as my
ship rides 'cross the waves
looking out to distant shores
i've missed for countless days
not a single day goes by in which
my thoughts aren't with you
but i have to search this soul of mine
or it'll be the last thing that i'll do
Ride! Let the winds be our true guide
what lies ahead i can’t know, but onwards we must go
Ride! Let the winds be our true guide
the future i can’t see, but onwards to be free
turned my back on laws and lords
freed myself from times foregone
Questing over foreign seas, course'
set for a new dawn
gold and plunder lie await
no port left save from me
in a blaze of glory i'll carve my path
and forge my own destiny
Ride! Let the winds be our true guide
what lies ahead i can’t know, but onwards we must go
Ride! Let the winds be our true guide
the future i can’t see, but onwards to be free
