Yet within this glorious reef
There is risk of certain grief
That is traveling past the belligerent shore
Just to obtain the deeply wished core.
Calling memory from back awhile
Dating then unto thy chosen isle
Where the reef lay hidden inside
And her true triumph let unhide.
In fear of blowing the engine once more
The forever vessel sulks by this shore
Then adversely sails onto the blue sea
Where there it may always be.
But undoubtedly, the memory shall not fade
When the nervous Cartographer's mark is made.

Where the reef lay hidden inside
And her true triumph let unhide.
In fear of blowing the engine once more
The forever vessel sulks by this shore
Then adversely sails onto the blue sea
Where there it may always be.
But undoubtedly, the memory shall not fade
When the nervous Cartographer's mark is made.
