Lyrics

A Merchant left town abandoned his gold Searching for wisdom and treasure untold He said farewell to the good things he knew He said farewell to his one love true To the good things he knew Knew that his love was through Sold all that he owned and bought the Empress Midnight The fastest ship built could sail round the world thrice For what he sailed he knew not destination unknown But the riches he owned couldn’t purchase joy for his soul Couldn’t purchase joy for his soul Couldn’t purchase joy for his soul His search lasted years for no man made worth Could settle his heart what separates heaven and earth The strength in himself had come to an end Companions had left him dead and Drifting He was dead and drifting He was dead and drifting And so drifting alone He surrendered his bones The last thing he owned his heart given over And in that moment of weakness nothing left in himself Soul left to God just an empty shell Then joy filled his heart and death lost it’s strength For this man my friends had been born once again He was born once again He was born once again
