''[[The Wake of Magellan]]'' is a 1998 album by [[
An old Spanish sailor, Hector Del-Fuego Magellan, is spending his retirement days in solitude after returning to his hometown. He's a lonely man as he's outlived his closest friends and his life at sea prevented him from starting a family, which he now regrets. He wanders the beach as an old eccentric, claiming to be descended from the famous Magellan, carrying an old heirloom hourglass, and talking with the ocean as he reflects on his past and wonders if there is any real future to look forward to.
Line 31:
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Stowing away on the ''Maersk Dubai'' is punished by being tossed overboard and left to drown at sea. Time-honored tradition was dish washing and other manual labor until being turned over to authorities on land.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Magellan can't understand the world anymore and he sees no future beyond wasting away from age and sickness.
* [[Face Death
* [[Famous Ancestor]]: Hector claims to be a direct descendant of Ferdinand Magellan, the famous explorer and first man to circumnavigate the world.
* [[I Have a Family]]: The stowaways on the ship pleaded with photos of their families and were still thrown overboard.
