"Hic Svnt Dracones (Here Be Dragons)" lyrics

"Hic Svnt Dracones (Here Be Dragons)"

We believed that all was lost
To the shadows of the waves
With our lives to pay the cost
And to rest in shallow graves
Yet our souls still burn with fire
And our dreams are hanging on
Yet our hearts keep beating stronger
On and on

A thousand leagues beneath the sea
A thousand ages lost to time
In a world that still is free
Mighty dragons soaring through the sky

Strange creatures alive, long forgotten by man
Here they still thrive, in these gardens of Pan
Mystic stars above us
In this lost world down below
Not knowing what awaits us, onwards we go

Reaching through time
Past aeons call out

Now hear us loud and clear, show no fear
Rising into the stratosphere
Here, there be dragons
With a breath of fire to sear
We're hunting high and low
Fast and slow
Burning stars in the afterglow
Here, there be dragons
Going where the winds will blow

Here we have reigned, countless years underground
Wild beasts we tamed, and a new home we found
In those nights of fire, when we lived forevermore
By Odin, Thor, and Freya, hear us roar

The stars will align
Follow the sign

Now hear us loud and clear, show no fear
Rising into the stratosphere
Here, there be dragons
With a breath of fire to sear
We're hunting high and low
Fast and slow
Burning stars in the afterglow
Here, there be dragons
Going where the winds will blow

Beyond clouds, thousand foreign stars appear
We feel no fear
On this night, sapphire skies shine crystal clear
The end is near
Broken hearts shed a tear
Rising up to the crescent in the sky
Up high they fly
Riding high on their burning wings of fire
Defy, we cry
Dragonfire light the sky
Tree of life, thousand drops of magic dew
We bow to you
Say goodbye to the only world we knew
We bid adieu
Valiant hearts be true
Into the night they flew
Breaking through

Reach for my hand
Never let go
We shall defend
In the cold evening glow

Now hear us loud and clear, show no fear
Rising into the stratosphere
Here, there be dragons
With a breath of fire to sear
We're hunting high and low
Fast and slow
Burning stars in the afterglow
Here, there be dragons
Going where the winds will blow
Now hear us loud and clear, show no fear
Magic is in the atmosphere
Here, there be dragons
With a breath of fire to sear
Higher than high we go, fast and slow
Burning stars in the afterglow
Here, there be dragons
Going where the winds will blow
