lyrics

You earned your swallow after 5000 miles
With a wind-weathered tan and the salt in your hair
But the distance to come is what tugs at the heart
The dreaming and longing of a 1000 yard stare

It starts with a press gang in a Liverpool inn
Awaken to find yourself put out to sea
But this prison and captors are not what they seem
The ocean’s your mistress, but you’re finally free

Here be dragons!
In the empty spaces of the map
The great unknown expanses
Over the horizon at the edge of the world
Here be dragons
Looming large at the back of your mind
Growing, growing, growing
Here be dragons

Gale force winds they can shriek at your heart
Monsoon storms they can turn the sky black
We’re taking in water and the rudder is lost
Though the sails are in tatters, there’s no turning back

Typhoons and whirlpools and St. Elmo’s fire
Sent many a man to a watery grave
Serpents and kraken and lights in the sky,
But the greatest adventure is o’er the next wave

Here be dragons!
In the empty spaces of the map
The great unknown expanses
Over the horizon at the edge of the world
Here be dragons
Looming large at the back of your mind
Growing, growing, growing
Here be dragons
