For so many years we've shared this path together Kindred spirits in search of history For you the holy grail is where we come from But it's a different road I crave these days for me You dwell so on the dawn of our creation And search for ghosts from our mythology But for now the wonders that the world can offer Mean more to me than ancient family trees To hear the waves and the timbers of a schooner Fighting up the coastline of Cape Horn To travel in the shadow of the long boats To where the giants of the Arctic ice were born Or the mystery of the deep dark Congo River Where the crocodile hunts and the python strikes To watch another predator in action Could rejuvinate some meaning in my life The well spring of my strength unrestricted There's so little I could fail to endure I could face a tract across the Himalayas Survive the freezing mist of Scottish Moores chorus SongtexteMy need to go is hard to fight I want to gaze upon this world just like the Northern Lights And of all the things about you that I'm going to miss Is the bond we've formed forever through this crimson kiss My son so dear, the worth out there History calls and I can't resist But you and me have memories bound together by the crimson kiss I would read of Czarist Russia and St. Petersburg When I was sick and human long ago Now there burns in me a passion for adventure A need to wake where savage trumpets blow A chance to see the last of Seven Wonders That great Pyramid of Giza's all that stands And like the pharoah who's entombed beneath it I'll sleep by day in vast Egyptian sands The thrill to hunt in such exotic places I could almost taste those beauties in Siam The brown-skinned boys of Mikonos and Rangoon The shy Chinese behind their painted fans [repeat chorus] Aus Songtexte Mania
