Ghost Of The Navigator
Iron Maiden
I have sailed to many lands
Now I make my final journey
On the bow I stand
West is where I go
Through the night I plough
Still, my heart calculate and pray
As the compass swings
My will is strong, I will not be led astray
Mysteries of time
Clouds that hide the Sun
But I know, but I know, but I know
I see the ghosts of navigators, but they are lost
As they sail into the sunset, they'll count the cost
As their skeletons, accusing, emerge from the sea
The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me
Take my heart and set it free
Carried forward by the waves
Nowhere left to run, navigator's son
Chasing rainbows all my days
Where I go I do not know
I only know the place I've been
Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so
Nothing's real until you feel
I steer between the crashing rocks
The sirens call my name
Lash my hands onto the helm
Blood surging with the strain
I will not fail now
As sunrise comes, the darkness left behind
For eternity, I follow on
There is no other way
The mysteries of time
Clouds that hide the Sun
I know, I know
I see the ghosts of navigators, but they are lost
As they sail into the sunset, they'll count the cost
As their skeletons, accusing, emerge from the sea
The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me
Take my heart and set it free
Carried forward by the waves
Nowhere left to run, navigator's son
Chasing rainbows all my days
Where I go I do not know
I only know the place I've been
Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so
Nothing's real until you feel
I see the ghosts of navigators, but they are lost
As they sail into the sunset, they'll count the cost
As their skeletons, accusing, emerge from the sea
The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me
Take my heart and set it free
Carried forward by the waves
Nowhere left to run, navigator's son
Chasing rainbows all my days
Where I go I do not know
I only know the place I've been
Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so
Nothing's real until you feel
Oh
