[Verse 1]

Chained to Plato’s Cavern

Chained to shadows of tradition

And Black silhouettes that line the ceiling of the ocean

More souls are sinking every year

Oh, something must be wrong up there

Do or die, it’s time we find the truth or lies

Behind the man, myth, legend

[Verse 2]

Grab your shield and trident

Get your sea horse armed for war

Let your fins all fly and ride with the nautical sea lords

They say these men are more like beasts

Eat you with their war machines

But if there’s any chance of peace

We have no choice, leave our world of safety

[Chorus]

When I look at Heaven, I see silhouettes in black

Tradition tries to demonize what we don’t understand

We need to see them through the love that covers all our skins

Until we’re dining in their homes

These men will be as good as myths and legends

[Bridge]

They say the issue’s black and white

But aren’t we all just different shades of gray?

If it makes us black and blue

Then we’re going the wrong way

But we could bring in an age of peace

Joining both our worlds into one

We could be the heroes that make a new end to the legend

[Chorus]

When I look at Heaven, I see silhouettes in black

Tradition tries to demonize what we don’t understand

We need to see them through the love that covers all our skins

Until we’re dining in their homes

These men will be as good as myths and legends
