Description
This song is about losing a friend. For us, it was our good friend Chris having to move to San Francisco and leave us behind. He played guitar in our band Grim Luck. The song starts out a lot slower than our songs usually are, but speeds up towards the end to break through the sappiness. Just more proof that there's no problem a double-time punk beat can't solve!
Lyrics
O, weary soldier/ Dry your eyes/ Calm your soul/ This tempest will be passing soon/ and we'll mend up all your holes/ and we'll fight the fires and douse the flames/ with brotherhood and autumn rains/ and regain the world of which you lost control/ chorus: Why'd you have to go away like this/ You left your brothers here to die/ Why'd you have to leave us all alone/ O, navigator, boy with stars/ This speck of light must go so far/ and when it burns out, we remember it for year/ and we'll sail the seas with calm and love/ no fear of storms or gods above/ and when they ask us we'll say/ that its Odessa, sir, where we'll land/
