Ghost of the navigator lyrics

Artist  : Iron maiden 
Song : Ghost of the navigator
 
I have sailed to many lands, now I make my final
journey
On the bow I stand, west is where I go
Through the night I plough, still my heart,
calculate and pray
As the compass swings, my will is strong, I will
not be led astray
Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun
But I know, but I know, but I know

I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost
As they sail into the sunset they’ll count the
cost
As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea
The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me



Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by
the waves
Nowhere left to run, navigator’s son,
Chasing rainbows all my days

Where I go I do not know, I only know the place
I’ve been
Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so,
Nothing’s real until you feel


I steer between the crashing rocks, the sirens
call my name
Lash my hands onto the helm, blood surging with
the strain
I will not fail now as sunrise comes the darkness
left behind
For eternity I follow on there is no other way
Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun
But I know, I know


I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost
As they sail into the sunset they’ll count the
cost
As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea
The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me



Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by
the waves
Nowhere left to run, navigator’s son
Chasing rainbows all my days

Where I go I do not know, I only know the place
I’ve been
Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so
Nothing’s real until you feel


I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost
As they sail into the sunset they’ll count the
cost
As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea
The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me



Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by
the waves
Nowhere left to run, navigator’s son
Chasing rainbows all my days

Where I go I do not know, I only know the place
I’ve been
Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so
Nothing’s real until you feel
