The Eternal Quest

Lyrics

The crimson dawn lights the sea a gleaming red
We know the time has come, prepare for the voyage ahead
Say goodbye to your home, and farewell to your friends
Fetch your sword, fetch your pistol
There's a bloodlust to be quenched
Across the seas we will sail to lands afar
Just as untold legends await beneath the stars
The ocean calls our sword, will you anchor and be sworn?
With cannon fire and cold hard steel we muster, and to war!
The storm fades in the distance, the winds begin to blow
How long will we journey for? We may never know
Will fame and legendary tales follow in our wake?
Or will we perish at the noose, a risk we'd rather take?
The seas are cold and treacherous, with danger always near
But adventure's what we hunger for, we meet it with no fear
We know not what we search for, but we sail forever on
For we know there is no turning back until our quest is done
Forever and ever onwards, our journey will never end
Through the coldest of winds and blackest
Nights, we'll sail, we will not relent
Wherever our quest may take us, whatever may lie in store
We'll stay strong, and we will raise our
Banners high, we will sail forever more
We've sailed many miles and seen so many sights
So many adventures we have had, and still more lurk in the night
The ride may be foreboding, but we take it in our stride
Whatever lies in store for us, the fates are on our side
Forever and ever onwards, our journey will never end
Through the coldest of winds and blackest
Nights, we'll sail, we will not relent
Wherever our quest may take us, whatever may lie in store
We'll stay strong, and we will raise our
Swords up high, we will sail forever more
