Lyrics

[Intro - Instrumental, slow build, atmospheric guitar]

[Verse 1 - Male Vocal, Baritone]
Seven months of black between the stars
Seven months we learned to read the dark
A Minotaur stood watch at every helm
Taught us how to sail an empty realm

[Verse 2]
He named the ship the Rat's Nest with a grin
Said "every man aboard her is my kin"
He had a wife, he had a son back home
A floating land where he was once alone

[Pre-Chorus - Build]
He never spoke about the day they fell
He carried it like iron, like a bell

[Chorus - Powerful, Anthemic]
Roghan, raise the sail
Roghan, ride the gale
You taught us how to crew the dying light
You taught us how to fight
Roghan, take the wheel
Make the bargain real
Even if you save them, even if you win
You can't go home again

[Verse 3]
The Beholder bled in nine directions wide
We watched our rogue dissolve and turn the tide
He said "I have one more thing left to do"
Pulled out the sextant, said his last adieu

[Verse 4]
"The other me is standing in that field
The other me is holding up the shield
I can save my family from the day they died
But I can't be the one who stands beside"

[Pre-Chorus - Build]
He shook the wizard's hand and called him friend
He pushed the skiff toward where the worlds end

[Chorus - Powerful, Anthemic]
Roghan, raise the sail
Roghan, ride the gale
You taught us how to crew the dying light
You taught us how to fight
Roghan, take the wheel
Make the bargain real
Even if you save them, even if you win
You can't go home again

[Bridge - Slower, heavier, doom riff]
A captain knows the price of every chart
A captain pays it with a quiet heart
He gave the ship away, he gave the gold
He kept the only weight he couldn't hold

[Guitar Solo - Melodic, soaring]

[Final Chorus - Bigger, Choral backing]
Roghan, raise the sail
Roghan, ride the gale
You crossed the singularity alone
A second life you'll never call your own
Roghan, take the wheel
Make the bargain real
Even if you save them, even if you win
You can't go home again
You can't go home again

[Outro - Slow fade, single guitar, atmospheric]
