Iron Maiden - Ghost Of The Navigator lyrics

I have sailed to many lands now I make my final journey

On the bow i stand, west is where i go

Through the night i plough still my heart calculate and pray

As the compass sways my will is strong

I will not be led astray

Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun

But I know, I know

I see the ghosts of navigators but they're lost

As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost

As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea

The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me

Take my heart and set it free

Carried forward by the waves

Nowhere left to run, Navigator's sun

Chasing rainbows all my days

Where I go I do not know

I only know the place I've been

Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so

Nothing's real until you see

I steer between the crashing rocks, the sirens call my name

Lash my hands onto the helm, blood surging with the strain

I will not fail now as sunrise comes the darkness left behind

For eternity I follow on there is no other way

Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun

But I know, I know
