Ithaca is hidden far
beyond the horizon eternity awaits
I feel burning desire
to go where no man has gone before
this is the curse upon me
a madness whose name is love for knowledge
"Volta la nostra poppa al mattino
dei remi facem ali al folle volo"
Raging waters are shaking the ship
and the sailors are too old
wrinkled are the hands holding the oars
they surrender to punishment divine
Sail for one last time
"Della nova terra un turbo nacque
e percorse del legno il primo canto
tre volte il fè girar con tutte l'acque
alla quarta levar la poppa in suso
e la prora ire in giù com'altrui piacque
infin che'l mar fu sopra noi richiuso"
And the wind shall scream my name
forever in time
the memories will live on
And the wind shall scream my name
As water steals my words left unspoken
I see my friends going down
in the afterlife maybe I will find some new shores
Hercules' Columns
their silhouette shall seal my cold grave
the sea, my only lover
will tell the world Ulysses' story
Sail for one last time
beyond the horizon eternity awaits
I feel burning desire
to go where no man has gone before
this is the curse upon me
a madness whose name is love for knowledge
"Volta la nostra poppa al mattino
dei remi facem ali al folle volo"
Raging waters are shaking the ship
and the sailors are too old
wrinkled are the hands holding the oars
they surrender to punishment divine
