Contain Thyself Lyrics

Are we crossing the border of the pale,
is this the end, the end of our tale?
Are we saying goodbye to old friends,
sailing away on a crave?
Wisdom to undersrtand,
kindness of strength,
mercy in victory,
majestic foundation.

I pray.

Nothing is turning our ships off the course,
day after day heading straight to the source.
No-one is sailing these seas of harm,
sailing without remorse.

Wisdom to undersrtand,
kindness of strength,
mercy in victory,
majestic foundation.
Contain Thyself.
Contain Thyself.
Contain Thyself.
My sweetest friend,
remember how,
we used to lend
all our hope,
remember how,
there was always
more to spend.
This is the island, the island by the edge,
the end of the world, the end of our pledge,
to uphold our friendship,
to safeguard the tree,
the tree of the sheltered and free.

This is the island, the island by the edge,
the end of the world, the end of our pledge,
to uphold our friendship,
to safeguard the tree,
the tree of the sheltered and free.
