Rubicon Lyrics

(Wetton/Downes)

Now, across the water seems so close from here
Now say goodbye to those so dear
There is no providence to me or you
We live or die by what we do
Success, of a one-track mind is born, you see
That track, neither to the left nor right must be
I make a promise to you now
You conquer fear you conquer death
Soon, soon we'll be gone
A constant desire to move on
This battle will never be won
Our freedom forsaken
This world will awaken
To a glorious new rising sun
True as an arrow, so we soldier on
Right on across the Rubicon
Straight and narrow, any doubts be gone
Way on across the Rubicon
So, we may never see our homes again
All of our wives and children, all our friends
Don't be discouraged, don't lose sight
We stand together in this fight
All, is at it seems
There's no turning back on this dream
After the die has been cast
The course is now taken
Resolve is unshaken
And destiny calls us at last
True as an arrow, so we soldier on
Right on across the Rubicon
Straight and narrow, any doubts be gone
Way on across the Rubicon
Over the river to the rising sun
Ride on across the Rubicon
And there's no way back from here
In waters deep,but we still go on
Straight on across the Rubicon
