Fast Boat To Piraeus
LYRICS
Vs: 1 Riding over the sea with the breeze on a wave of the wind
The fast boat from Piraeus leaving the islands again
In this ancient mystery land, what will we find
This is my journey, come listen this voyage of mine
Vs: 2 Long has it been since my eyes last caught sight of land
A harbor or port to shelter a salty old hand
Breakers are sounding and the Pillars of Hercules stand
What would we find if we kept going on, on and on
Chorus: 1 Sail with me all of ye
Crusty old seekers
Thirsty for knowledge
Of wherein ye dwell
I am a sailor 2: I am a sailor
And long have I traveled And long have I traveled
The oceans of life The oceans of life
Their story to tell Their mystery to tell
(The mystery to tell)
Inst: As in Chorus
Vs: 3 Here in the Land of the Dead have we come to our goal
The story that we have to tell no mortal has told
Conquering demons in lands of which heroes have sung
Where we be going, this journey is always begun
Chorus:
Inst: As in Chorus, Fade out
