Worth a Tale Lyrics


I'm drifting on my own odyssey crossing the Hercules Gate

Floating past the Scylla's Hold I waved and grinned: it's certain death I'm told!

Yes...I could stay, remain so safe, remain the same

So tame and lame and live in vain, wake to a Day of Mays

I'd rather burn and never fade than be afraid - No!

I'd better live for just one day and make it worth a tale

I laugh! In the face of death! I dance! On two broken legs!

I Laugh! There is always chance! I joke! With a rope around my neck!

I laugh! Lying on my deathbed! I'm here...nothing I regret!

Fear? Nay! Doubts? Nay! Guts? Aye! Danger? Hey!

Dreams? Aye! Turn Back? Nay! Chances? Rare! Death? May!

I crossed the seas just to spread my name, carve it high

On the mountain range, I forced the stone to remember me

While I II be gone like writings in the sand...

I'll make it worth a tale...

I laugh! In the face of death! I dance! On two broken legs!

I Laugh! There is always chance! I joke! With a rope around my neck!

I laugh! Lying on my deathbed! I'm here...nothing I regret!

I've seen the end of the world I was never really scared

I'd look straight at the Gorgo's face

Don't think I wouldn’t dare...

And if we set out tomorrow now to see

The Mountain Ablaze and it meant

To go down and fail I'd do it all again...

I'd rather live for just one day

And make it worth a tale...

I laugh! In the face of death! I dance! On two broken legs!

I Laugh! There is always chance! I joke! With a rope around my neck!

I laugh! Lying on my deathbed! I'm here... I feel no more dread...

Nothing... nothing I regret!
