The Lights of Lampedusa

I feel it when the night starts setting in
It feels just like my days are set in stone
Sitting in my living room, I long for the unknown
Patience is a high risk gamble
I don’t want to await the sands of time
Never mind the presages and signals in the sky
Leaving lucky charms that used to comfort me
Packing all the stories from my past
Friends left behind I hope again I’ll see
In a better place for you and
The chances, I know, might seem small
The distance uncertain, no guides
Beyond the horizon, the lights of Lampedusa
With nothing to lose, losing all
A risk that chose to defy
Ahead in the dark desert night lies Lampedusa
Disregarding stats and probabilities
Counting on my senses, I’ll move fast
Dodging obstacles and enemies
Until I arrive I won’t rest
The chances, I know, might seem small
The distance uncertain, no guides
Beyond the horizon, the lights of Lampedusa
With nothing to lose, losing all
A risk that chose to defy
Ahead in the dark desert night lies Lampedusa
