I
The wanderer told me
Of galleon shores
how mystery beckons
while fire lights close
He spoke of danger in unholy men
The eye of the lion who looks over men

I've never seen anything
I've wanted to sail
Give unto me, a challenge

II
The wanderer left me
Excited by need
To run from the mountains
and take to the shores
He swore an oath
To journey afar
holding his head high
drenched in fatigue

III
I watched from a distance
The manner of his way
and fought for a reason
to which I could remain
I gathered the soil
The fodder of my feed
and ran from the mountains
the honeycombe of seed.


I've never seen anything
I've wanted to sail
Give unto me, a challenge
hi ho.

IV
I took to the ocean
Affection of the sea
the roaring of winds
the blessing of my plead
Gales held a warning
Of what lay ahead
the signs of a strange land
those mysteries of sea

V
I braved through the storm
Resolute in fright
and leapt at the landing
no caution in sight
A fire on the sea shore
Defiant to the last
desire took control
the famine and the fast

I've never seen anything
I've wanted to sail
Give unto me, a challenge
hi ho.

VI
I seen in the distance
The wanderer so bold
the might and the standing
a journey for the true
I boasted of my glory
An action of the brave
he laughed and he shunned
and turning with disdain

I've never seen anything
I've wanted to sail
Give unto me, a challenge
hi ho.

VII
The parasite within me
Drowned among the flak
releasing my bravado
the stunt of my attack
The wanderer soon left me
Alone, the sunken plume
widower of a mountain
so sullen and so soon

I've never seen anything
I've wanted to sail
Give unto me, a challenge
VIII
I dreamed of a mountain
High above the sea
the guardian of beauty
custodian of free
Take me home, I'm weary
Sentinel of sea.
The danger of a journey
oh sea, the sea, I see.

I've never seen anything
I've wanted to sail
Give unto me, a challenge
hi ho.
