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)
