lyrics

Drift through the darkness of space
Wandering from place to place
Many trials have we passed along the way
Always have we won the day

Crystal pyramid turns red and warns us of the news that these fair
Planetfolk have been crushed and they require aid to save them
Who will bend an ear to their cries filled as they are with anguish
We the merry band will heed their call

We have arrived to this unknown place
At first glance it looks reduced to waste

A ghostly frigate divides the mist
Slow on approach, it does not list
The game played, our souls have they won
Our fate, to perish in the dearth of the sun

The goose is loosed, the missile is fired
A pallid death and a cloak turned to pyre
The spear is thrust, the warrior in flight
To claim the deck and return to light

The skirmish ended, unwritten law
Stake my claim and take five draws
My mind opened, I face my death
Expelled by issuance of my breath
Parchment, trumpet, and enmity
Restructured reality
Deck changed to the thin of the air
Still no closer to neverwhere

The light has returned, an ocean to cross
A message delivered by albatross
The dictator, standing unamused
The dictator, by the noise abused

Sea turns to coast, the waves break over the sand
We have arrived at the end of the land
A jungle before us, the ocean behind
Over the mountains, the city we'll find
