Ayreon - Dragon On The Sea Lyrics
"It is the 16th century. I am Queen Elizabeth sending out the brave Sir Francis Drake todefend the English realm against the invading armada."[Lana Lane]Times are dark now, our empire's gone astrayForces from down south, armada on the waySo we call our greatest men to run the barricadeShine your light where shadows fall and wash the night awaySail on for your queenSail into historyYou will never be the sameSail on for countryInto our memoryTime will remember your nameDragon on the seaFires burn now in once our tranquil baysTall ships that rain down thunderbolts and flamesGo and raise your pirate flag, cast the lines awayTake your fleet where darkness falls and turn the night to dayThe sun never sets on the empire wonBut wise men say never say neverIt slips through our hands just like sand in sunWe thought it would go on foreverDragon ships they keep on sailing, on to Nova AlbionWhile the waking world is sleeping, dragon ships are sailing on
