lyrics

Quelch is escorted out to the shore where a most peculiar boat is tied to a stake in the crystal water. The Monkey King watches from the window of the gaming room high above, arms crossed and a scowl on his face.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quelch:

My boat is a two-headed beast, with the face of a monkey.
East and West, watching out for me.

And like the wings of a bat, it’s sails so slowly open.
A sturdy craft to search the oceans.

I search the ocean...

Come, come away, out of the ether, my old friends.
Fill my sails, lift my hopes with all your breath.
Lead me to the Ocean of the Dead.

In the bewitching waters, of the Arabian Sea,
Toulouse's ship is floating or she sleeps,

In the cold deep,
Still in motion,
I search the ocean....

Come, come away, out of the ether, my old friends.
Fill my sails, lift my hopes with all your breath.
Lead me to the Ocean of the Dead - come away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The wives of the Monkey King, along with the other creatures of the palace, wave as Quelch takes to the water.

Come sail away… Come sail away…
Come sail away… listen what I say
Come sail away… come sail, sail away

At times, there is a lot of aggression and rhythm in her piano playing, yet even at its most gentle moments her powerfully emotional and melodic piano-based songs have caused listeners to sit-up and pay attention. ... more
