Bermuda ( /bɜrˈmjuːdə/), officially the Bermudas or Somers Islands, is a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic Ocean. Located off the east coast of the United States, its nearest landmass is Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, about 1,030 kilometres (640 mi) to the west-northwest. It is about 1,373 kilometres (853 mi) south of Halifax, Nova Scotia and 1,770 kilometres (1,100 mi) northeast of Miami, Florida, USA. Its capital city is Hamilton.
Bermuda was discovered in 1505 by Spanish sea captain Juan de Bermúdez, after whom the islands are named. Apparently uninhabited, he claimed them for the Spanish Empire. Although he paid two visits to the archipelago, Bermúdez was persuaded never to set foot on any of the islands by the dangerous reef surrounding them. Subsequent Spanish or other visitors are believed to have released the feral pigs that were abundant on the island when settlement began. In 1609, the Virginia Company, which had established Virginia and Jamestown on the American continent two years earlier, established a settlement on behalf of the English colonial empire. Initially, it was administered as an extension of Virginia by the Company until 1614, before its successor, the Somers Isles Company, took over until 1684. Bermuda then became a British colony following the 1707 unification of the Kingdom of England with the Kingdom of Scotland to create the unified Kingdom of Great Britain. After Newfoundland became part of Canada in 1949, Bermuda became the oldest (and, since the return of Hong Kong to China in 1997, the most populous) remaining British overseas territory. Its first capital, St George's, was established in 1612 and is the oldest continuously-inhabited English town in the Americas.

The triangle, it's a mystery.
Disappearing, both ships and planes.
What kind of a secret?
We can only guess.
In Bermuda,
we don't stand a chance.
There must be night,
in Bermuda.
Use all your light,
to find what's going on.
Is it heaven or hell?
Only time will tell
if it dares to show itself,
dares to show itself.
How will we find it?
How will we find the key?
How will we break the block
of the mystery?
There must be night
in Bermuda.
Use all your light.
We must have peace of mind
and common sense.
And what if we find it,
if we find the key.
Are we sure we want to open
I can't hear myself
Aint' that beautiful
I am drowned out by the roar
Floating back up from the shore
It is wonderful
It is easy
Take your time
Take all day
I don't mind
Stretch it out
For all our lives
I can't hear myself
It is fine
I am mumbled by the trees
Silenced by the bees
Down in Bermuda
Paradise for two
I lost my lover
There on the blue
We went sailing
On a coral sea
Starlit waters
My darling and me
Time was endless
Love sang its song
We dreamed of tomorrow
Now he is gone
I see his lips
In the coral
I see his eyes
In the water blue
I see his hair
In the glowing sunlight
A vision clear
Calling me near
In Bermudan waters
Oh, so clear and cold
I wait my loved one
As I grow old
I wait my loved one
I found a better life in memories
Coastal water lines on the sea
And man it hurts me to do it
When my life's gone through it all
and I say I shouldn't, you see right through it all,
All all all, ohhhh
And it's the price we pay when nobody will stay
For the love we made, it just don't work that way
Man it hurts me to do it
When my life's gone through it all
And I say I shouldn't, you see right through it al,
All all, ohhhhhhh
And it feels like changing fortune, theirs a long way
back
They say that if the clock is right it's a bad time
Because you crushed our love
ohhhhhhhhhh
ohhhhhhhhhh
Bermuda, in the night you dance with me
I thought that all my friends were over me
And man it hurts me to do it
When my life's gone through it all
And I say I shouldn't, you see right through it all,
All all, ohhohohoho
And it's the price we pay, when nobody will stay
For the love we made, it just don't work out that way
Man it hurts me to do it
When my life's gone through it all
And I say i shouldn't, you see right through it all
All, oh oh oh
And it feels like changing fortune, theirs a long way
back
They say that if the clock is right it's a bad time
Because you crushed our love
ohohohoh
ohohohohh
Bermuda, in the night you dance with me
I thought that all my friends were over me
Oh Bermuda, i'm alone
Bleeding over phone lines, voice and vibration spilled like rain on broken pavement, and you have fallen, fallen from grace.
By fair-weather friends, wolves in white wool baying, now you're dead in my eyes.
Always begging for more, more blood more saltine tears, more sweat off the brows of desperate men, cut to the bone by these thorns
Bleeding over phone lines, voice and vibrations, I still, I still feel, as if I let you die.
This machine is a rusted quest gone dry, I feel submerged in this flesh covered vessel, you take the knife and you slice to the core.
Remove my heart that tears oxidized to orange. I'm broken and you fucking know it.
You turned your backs on me, you turned your backs on us.
You turned your backs on us, brotherhood took its own life, seeing the pain it bred. You turn your back on me.
Bleeding over phone lines, voice and vibration spilled like rain on broken pavement,
and you have fallen, fallen from grace, by fair-weather friends, wolves in white wool, baying,
now you're dead in my eyes.
Like Judas, A true friend will stab you in the chest.
They want to see your eyes widen with disbelief when the blade pierces your foolish trusting heart.
When you fall to the floor, in what moment did I become the victim, left beaten on enemy soil? Is this the thanks I am given?
When did I become the villain that deserves whatever violent end is afforded me? The knife in my backs inscription still reads "I love you, you're like a brother to me."
I watch you smile sickly standing over me.
"You had this coming, now choke on your last breath! You had this coming."
I knelt and said.
Motherfucker.
(For years I've wanted what you had, that warmth and light I could never reach. I wont have to take it from you, It will gladly leave)
I will gladly leave, you were.
"You're like a brother to me, I'll slowly corrupt and use it against you! I don't have to take it from you. It will gladly leave"
The knife in my backs inscription still reads "I love you, you're like a brother to me." I watch you smile sickly, standing over me.
You wear the fucking mask of a man, and you call yourself a friend, open your mouth and deceive.
The lies don't suit you, there are now friends within this guild of thieves.
None will share your loyalty, possessions are worthless, favors from the heart! A promise and a lie, its all the same.
There are no pacts between lions and their prey, did you think you were special to me?
Wear the mask of a man, do you call yourself a friend?
There are no pacts between lions and their prey, did you think you were so special? A snake is still a fucking snake.
You wear the fucking mask of a man and you call yourself a friend, open your mouth a deceive.
The lies don't suit you, there are no friends within this guild of thieves, you can choose to betray your true nature.
You can go ahead and choose to betray yourself and wallow in your own fucking filth,
You should have killed me when you laid me low, you, you should have stayed to my last breath.
Cast down to ashes, bones broken and heart removed I was tramped underfoot and barely breathing.
These scars run deep, questioning fate I stared up at the sky waiting for the darkness to pull me in.
"please take me" I whispered, get up, give me your hand, I will remove you from this four walled hell.
If you would only try, give me your hand, I will pull you from within yourself, bandage your scars and give you back your will. Now scream at the sky, so loud at the stars, now prove to them.
You're still alive(I will pull you from within yourself) You're still alive (I will remove you from this fucking hell)
Now scream out the lies(so to force this poison from your bones) "Please take me" I whispered
Get up give me your hand, now scream at the sky. Now scream at the stars. I scream at the sky.
The surface seems miles away, the faces on the sea floor smile and welcome me as a brother, faintly through the thunder of the waves, a voice I know.
She came to me, calling, assuring me these waves are not my home. "You are meant for more, this is not your time, turn from this shroud."
"These grey faces anchored to the bottom, spoke lies to mislead you! You don't belong here, you never did, anchors at your feet bare no hold on you!"
"You don't belong here, and you never will, this is not your home! Come to my voice!"
I am alive, I am more than mere motion! Made for more, now closer to whole! I am alive, I am more than just motion, closer to whole.
You were meant for more (You were meant for something more) I will pull your heartbeat away from the storm (pull these anchors from my feet)
You were meant for more (you were meant for something more) I can feel the waves break and I return to shore (Now closer to whole)
The tide was harsh and unforgiving. I capsized as black water engulfed me whole with these anchors at my ankles, I said goodbye to the glimmering light!
"You don't belong here, you never will! This is not your home, come to my voice"
You were meant for more! I will pull your heartbeat away from the storm (Pull these anchors from my feet)
You were meant for more (You are meant for something more) I can feel the waves break, as I return to shore (Now closer to whole)
I am alive, I am more than mere motion. Made for more. Now closer to whole.
I am alive, I am more than just motion. Closer to whole.
