Give me one tall ship to sail A star to guide her by Let me orbit unknown worlds a thousand miles high My lover is a virgin queen, the Gods gave her to me A ship, without a boon or sail Who rules an endless sea Both I and King Ulysses weren't content upon the shore With hearts so big to sing, we'd need a million years or more The salty winds against his brow Aboard his one true bride On wings of space the Sirens sing Years after he has died
For I am a soldier The battle I abhor I wage my war with ignorance as through the void I soar I wear my heart out on my sleeve my dreams within my soul With wisdom I must lead these men as Endless night unfolds For I've a mighty ship to sail We rule an endless sky A universe of stars at my command to guide her by The shores of dusty Troy my aim Of Crete, and lost Cyrene The ancient hero's song to sing Escorted by my queen
