about
A curious song about an explorer, possibly Columbus...
lyrics
We sailed for days, the ocean never changed
Across the sea of time we travelled far and wide
Now for the first time the sail's down the anchor's hit sand
The air in my chest hesitates at this moment's command
Row, we're going ashore
Don't know what's in store
Find out when we get there...
I'm sent by the queen and the glory that it brings
You wouldn't know me but soon the world will see
The treasure and riches could be beyond all belief
Could be the devil's own palace but soon we will see
Row, we're going ashore
Don't know what's in store
Find out when we get there
Born into a world new
Torn in two a world new
A dream, jungles of green, white sand like never seen
Cast my eye into a million shades of blue
The natives run naked as shameless and free as the birds
That sail the same winds that brought us here to the edge of the world
Row, we're going ashore
(Pull at one thing, the whole world's connected)
Don't know what's in store
(Look what's begun here, lost and shipwrecked it)
We'll find out when we get there
