The Great City Songtext
von Revere

This is a day for joyous song
Sing to God rejoicing!
In voices five hundred strong
Each one gladly joins in

Lovers, load your ships with things
Lovers, call the tide
Lovers, loathe the darkened things
But Lovers stay alive
I′m afraid of darkened things
You can call the tide
If I never make it back
Does it mean I'm still alive?

You have your rest. Now take your leave
The ocean′s stomach swirls and spits out demons from the deep


We have no more time!
We have no more time!
Let us celebrate the kindness of our hosts

Behold the sea itself - a mammoth churning in the dark
Reflecting all the light we shine - illuminating spark!
We are holding out!
We celebrate and shout!
We feast until the glow commands, "You must embark!"

Lovers, we rejoice for the great moment's coming soon
When dawn reveals its joyful eyes and calls us like a tune
"I'm the gold of day
Now you are on your way
We bid our hosts! We bid our guests! Farewell, goodbye, adieu!"

We must leave their home
And call the sea our own
