navigate the seas of the sun

Bruce Dickinson

Distant earthrise long ago
lingers at the borders of our minds
mysteries spinning in the dark
in the frozen emptiness of time
we were lost and we never knew
who we were and what we left behind
living half lives we were blind
to the new frontiers that opened up our eyes

to find our minds were spinning
souls entwined in a spiral dance
the ancient ways have found us
again to give us one last chaaaaaaance

living in this place
staring into space we find
we might share the corners of our lives
infinity runs deep
eternity that we can´t keep
melting through the frozen wastes of time

so we go and will not return
to navigate the seas of the sun
our children will go on and on
to navigate the seas of the sun
so we go and will not return
to navigate the seas of the sun
our children will go on and on
to navigate the seas of the sun

we can´t go on tomorrow
living death by gravity
couldn't stand it anymore
we sail our ships to distant shores

purple gold and blue,
living colours every hue,
flowers in the garden of the gods
no one can ever know
if you never saw them grow
this darkness, is really full of light

[solos]

well beyond the earth
beyond all things that gave us birth
we'll navigate...
if God is throwing dice
and Einstein doesn't mind the chance
we'll navigate...
infinity runs deep
eternity that we can´t keep
we'll navigate...
flowers of our souls
purple blue and gold we find
to navigate...
so we know who we are
even in this frozen waste
we'll navigate...
living in this place
staring into space we find
we'll navigate...
well beyond the earth
beyond all things that gave us birth
we'll...
if Einstein's throwing dice
and God he doesn't mind the chance
we'll navigate...
flowers of our souls
purple blue and gold
and who we were before
eternity...
we'll navigate...
flowers of the soul
