Weary and alone, adrift on the wine-dark sea
Far from my home, a decade has passed from me Far gone in woe Far gone in weariness The gods up above They're flawed and they're furious Living on a prayer in a godless aquarium I shed all my possessions, it was too hard to carry them She comes to me now She come in disguises But I find her out I find her in time She's my Grey-Eyed Athene... She comes in the night and she whispers sweet strength to me She leads me to dine at the tables of kings and queens We drink our fill Complement the queen And we offer up libations And cry as the minstrel sings A song of the traveler so weary and disheveled Who seeks for his true love but it always bedeviled It's written in the stars said the prophet Tyreseus But I feel her hand and know The fates will be with us My Grey-Eyed Athene... Tossed from my vessel by the waves of the earthquake king Washed up on foreign shores and fell into a deep sleep She watches over me She watches me sleep Ande she draws 'round a fog TO cover me in clean white sheets Dawn spreads her fingertips of rose across the pale sky The traveler awakes, alone on this desert isle Far gone in woe And far gone is hope Till she clears 'way the mist And she tells me I'm home She's my Grey-Eyed Athene...
