Dragon On The Sea (Remixed & Remastered) Songtext
von Ayreon

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
It slips through our hands just like sand in sun
We thought it would go on 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
