Ayreon – Dragon On The Sea lyrics

Times are dark now, our empire's gone astray.
Forces from down south, armada on the way.
So we call our greatest men to run the barricade!
Shine your light where shadows fall and wash the night away!

Sail on for your queen!
Sail into history!
You will never be the same...
Sail on for country,
Into our memory!
Time will remember your name -
Dragon on the sea!

Fires burn now, in once our tranquil bays.
Tall ships that rain down thunderbolts and flames.
Go and raise your pirate flag, cast the lines away!
Take your fleet where darkness falls and turn the night to day!

Sail on for your queen!
Sail into history!
Time will remember your name -
Dragon on the sea!

The sun never sets on the Empire One.
But wise men say never say never say never (say never).
It slips through our hands just like sand in sun.
We thought it would go on forever forever forever (forever).

Sail on for your queen!
Sail into history!
You will never be the same...
Sail on for country,
Into our memory!
Time will remember your name -
Dragon on the sea!

Dragon ships they keep on sailing, on to Nova Albion.
While the waking world is sleeping, dragon ships are sailing on.
Dragon ships they keep on sailing, on to Nova Albion.
While the waking world is sleeping, dragon ships are sailing on.
Dragon ships they keep on sailing, on to Nova Albion.
While the waking world is sleeping, dragon ships are sailing on.
Dragon ships they keep on sailing, (on to Nova Albion...)
