The Expedition Lyrics


Daidalos - The Expedition

1845

An Odyssey began

East to West a Passage leads hidden and unknown

Erebus and Terror Gods of Darkness once

Shelter on the Pack Ice now

Fame and Honour when we come back Home

And so our Heroes left their Land

Crying Girls on the haven of Greenhithe

129 Men that would never return but suffer in Coldness

But still in the Hope of an eternal glamorous Exploration

We are the Sailors

Men of the Sea

We are the Sailors

Pig and Hen will guard us

We are the Sailors

Officers and Seamen

Follow the Captain

Northwest a Passage he will find

Storms and Waves are longing for our Lifes

Faces to the Wind

An Arctic Exploration´s Tale

Ride the northern Winds

On the Deck of icebound Ships we´ll sing

Heroes of the Expedition

Hopeful we´re starting like Brothers with Honour

Leaving our past Lifes behind

Heading for Glory all men on their Posts

As One we will succeed

Northwest Passage

The Sea lies still

But yet is rough

The Sea lies still

The Icewind comes
