The Last Crusader

Midnight

All is peace and quiet from the outside

Silhouettes of sails against the moonlight falling low

Making the water look bright

Tonight

All is well that ends well

Inside

He reads the charts so desperate for the daylight

Fighting his sleep to be the first to see

The land of gold

Proving the global form

At last

Asia it’(s me, C.C.

Chorus

Land ho! Land ho!

Land ho! Land ho!

Shouts are coming from the crow’s nest

Land ho! Land ho!

Land ho! Land ho!

Probing into the virgin waters

Trying to cleave the darkness with his eyes

Slowly descrying the promised coast line

Twilight

Hardly he recalls that there were good times

Without his queen he’s no more than a sailor with a faded tale

The new world he found for her

And more

America or so they say

(Chorus)
