New Horizons
Serenity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Find our way on a silent sea
Brave men did before with unshakeable belief,
Sailed around the world and so shall we
The war of crowns seems to be a story far away
This is the time to write my own tale
Riding high on waves of fortune without fear
New horizons for this son of English shores
And the fire of the cannons lights the way
Hundreds were lost in fifty days of storm,
In all those endless fights and treachery
Sailing for the Queen we are gambling with our lives
In many of her games I've been the key
The war of crowns seems to be a story far away
This is the time to write my own tale, I know that I won't fail
I see the strongest ships and daring men in company
Seven seas, here I'm coming!
New horizons lie beyond the sun's golden doors
Riding high on waves of fortune without fear
New horizons for this son of English shores
And the fire of the cannons lights the way
An apprehension
Means inquisition
Faith collision
Leads to division
Give us just a reason, we'll be devil's breed instead of men
Do not try to fool us as no one can
New horizons lie beyond the sun's golden doors
Riding high on waves of fortune without fear
New horizons for this son of English shores
And the fire of the cannons lights the way (2x)
