The Shooting Company of Francis B. Cocq Songtext
von Ayreon

I′m standing proud
In this noble crowd
My banner raised high
The coat of arms of Amsterdam

To the mystic sky
A magic light enchants the land
We're marching on
The shooting company of Captain Frans B. Cocq

My uniform shines
The livery of a high-born man
The Claw-guild signs
Immortalised by the master′s hand


Light and shade
With colours rich and brushwork bold
Night and day
(With shadows black and armours gold)
We're marching on
(The shooting company of Captain Frans B. Cocq)

I'm standing proud
In this noble crowd
In our golden age
(Eternalised by the artist′s hand)
A glorious page
(In the history of our tiny land)

We′re marching on
Up to the battlefield to where the spirits walk
The shooting company of Captain Frans B. Cocq
