Testo Lusitania

Testo Lusitania

Outstanding will, aching for the sea
Those who wrote the Course
From need and dream, who made history
In water lie, with fire signed
With blessed wood defying all
The fears and myths
To seek abundance, oblivion and glory
To spread the Word, to rule!

Sail, sail!
Your faith and honour will prevail
Sail!

Ruler of the seas.
Amazing epopee, the compliment of gods
Yet to be equalled
The trails of greatness to follow overseas
Sacraments of blood...
This port of sailing they left in hope and dread
To built and burn
A race of conquerors, the tyranny of dreams
To teach and learn.
Sail, sail!
Your faith and honour
Will prevail
Sail!
Ruler of the Seas.

?A sacred mission
on our hands in our hearts
we'll bring them light
we'll save those misguided souls
So far is the distance
That must be crossed
The word they spirits ache for
Oh pacifier fountain!
The fire in their eyes
The fire in their eyes
Will die now, die now
We watch them bleed
With fire in their eyes?

?These lands so vast
the magnitude of dreams
we stand, the lords and masters
still many more lie there in offer
our flag's the pen
that's writing in the wind
our feats of arms and conquests
the strength, the cross, the slaughter.
With fire in our eyes,
With fire in our eyes
And we die, now, die, now
We watch us bleed
With fire in our eyes?

?My Fatherland, how many years ago?
The feast of fame and fortune
Didn't leave but wounds and sorrow
Too many places
Too much to conquer
My body gasps with sickness
And still I see them coming
With fire in their eyes
With fire in their eyes
And we will die, now, die, now
We watch the bleeding
With fire in our eyes?
