Dreaming of lands
Seventy hands
Ancestral rite
Escaping winter's bite
When you travel so far from your homeland
Your family will pray you're returning
But adventure is what you've been yearning
This expedition does not go as planned
Faster winds blow
Helmsman paid to know
Years away from home
Night chills to the bone
Been a lifetime of sailing and fighting
Took all you had with fists and with steel
Search a lifetime for lands that aren't real
Waiting day after day for land's sighting
Slowly oars pull
Stomach's never full
Chasing day light
Stars guide through the night
When the shoreline is seen in the distance
You'll never forget where you started
It's the first time the land has been charted
And the unknown is filled with resistance

We've asked the questions
Got white man's answers
The truth is never what it seems
No birthing records
Are you a Spaniard
You bought your way to history
The Queen will never
Give you funding
She wants the glory for the crown
Cause it was lasting
You took the credit
Not the first to touch the West
CHORUS
Big waves
Big lies
Big ships heading East
Nina
Pinta
Santa Maria
Killed Hispaniola
Sold slaves for profit
Your reign was questioned from the start
You tortured hundreds
And feared the truth
You punished them with heavy hands
But you're a liar
And a coward
Wearing faces like a clown
Cause it was lasting
You took the credit
Not the first to touch the West
CHORUS
Your exploits spreading
Hide true desires
You search for Jewish paradise
Trips took their toll
A spreading sickness
You could not travel back to Spain
You died a poor man
No family honor
How could you let it slip away
Cause it was lasting
You took the credit
Remembered one day every year
CHORUS

Raised in Florence
A naval chief
You started schooling
Liar's relief
Year long ventures
Always observing
Four questioned journeys
Fame on returning
CHORUS
But the letters were not yours
Your travels always in question
An ancient tabloid rumor mill
You never looked at your reflection
You mapped Alpha
Beta Centauri
Plagiarized Greeks
Can't say you're sorry
Mundus novus
Age of discovery
Hypothesizing
Sailing the seas
CHORUS
But the letters were not yours
Your travels always in question
An ancient tabloid rumor mill
You never looked at your reflection
Mapping new worlds
Based on a story
Gathering data
Quests for glory
Immortalized with
A pen and paper
North America
An ancient faker
CHORUS
But the letters were not yours
Your travels always in question
An ancient tabloid rumor mill
You never looked at your reflection

Sands far as eyes can see
The quest just mythology
CHORUS
Searching for the fountain
Desperate to find it
Sailing up the coastline
Winds come straight line
Sun shining bright for days
The storms forced them to the bay
CHORUS
Searching for the fountain
Desperate to find it
Sailing up the coastline
Winds come straight line
Tales handed down through time
Drink keeps you in your prime
CHORUS
Searching for the fountain
Desperate to find it
Sailing up the coastline
Winds come straight line

New Spain is the launching pad
Command of the native men
Mayan fighters cannot win
Project:Yucatan begins
CHORUS
Then he walked down into the valley
claiming he's a god
Moctezuma stabbed in the back
a deity's facade
Did you know erasing a man
Requires conversion
Wiping out the savages
It cannot be undone
Lavish gifts were piled high
Battles rage in the heartland
Canons force them to their knees
Culture vanished in the breeze
CHORUS
Three crowns erased through years
Seven city states are gone
New world filled with fame and gold
Conquest wiping out the old
CHORUS

El Draque

Canons flashing all through the night
Chasing frigates laden with jewels
Hiding gold along the route
CHORUS
I'm the second
Not the first one
I'll always live inside the shadow
of Magellan
Forgotten glory
Seeking fortune
So I'll pirate and plunder
From the Spanish
But I'm not a hero
And a slaver
If you cross me I'll behead you
Leave your body
On the white sand
Till your bones are bleached and scattered
I can live outside of the law
Trading men for silver and wine
I'll sail on to the edge of the world
CHORUS
Witchcraft is a quiet lie
My ship won't suffer your curse
God demands swift justice
CHORUS

Western frontiers
Pushing through the forest
Traveling the rivers
Natives all around
Grueling daylight
Silence in the darkness
Campfire stories
Ease the pain
The caravan is
Spreading cross the plain lands
Always moving slowly
Shelter hard to find
And you can only
Carry so much with you
Death is watching closely
Chills run down your spine
CHORUS
Sunset rays
Through the pines
Crashing waves
Wilderness
Adventure for the union
Making observations
Claiming all the land
You're equipped with
The sword and the pen yeah
Cataloguing science
Looking for the trail
Driving horses
Up through the mountains
Valley spread below
Smell the coast
When you reach the
Top of the summit
Closer to the heavens
Touch the clear blue sky
CHORUS
Sunset rays
Through the pines
Crashing waves
With the coastline
Spreading out in front
Winter moving in
Sickness all around
Presidential
Honors and achievements
Walking home alone
Emptiness inside
What's the end game
Knowledge or extinction
Following your orders
You're a soldier man
Marginalizing
Indigenous people
Horrors coming for them
Lose the right to live
CHORUS
Sunset rays
Through the pines
Crashing waves

Mankind
02:57

Doomsday is nearing
Dire warnings vaproize
Panic and the chaos
Final solution for all mankind
CHORUS
Slingshot around the sun
Tickets are two for one
Chance of survival is none
Countdowns and looting
Preparations through the night
High tech from the desert
Will send us to the light
CHORUS
Slingshot around the sun
Tickets are two for one
Chance of survival is none
Deep space hibernation
Slowly drifting through the stars
Light years destination
We awaken foreign skies
CHORUS
Slingshot around the sun
Tickets are two for one
Chance of survival is none
