William died in the war He left behind little more than words All but forgotten For eight years he sailed on haunted oceans Conspiring spiraling seas Recording his fears and fantasies And I say I understand Truth lives in house on the borderland Love rules the nightland And ghost pirates wait at sea for me Understand I understand William, your tortured mind is as mine Your stories feel like home Lam not alone No Trapped on an island in the weed I was in need of a friend You're a friend Understand Truth lives in a house on the borderland Love rules the nightland And ghost pirates wait at sea for me I understand I understand William died in the great war
