Timeship

(album: Faster Than The Speed Of Light - 1980)

The sails are set and our ship is dancing on the silver waves
Time is fading, we just raise the anchor and we sail away
The net is thrown and our dream is turning through a golden storm
Colours in motion, we just sail the way of the timeship to a distant shore

All aboard concern
We're going on a journey with no return
All aboard concern
We're going on a journey to nowhere
All aboard concern
We're going on a journey with no return
All aboard concern
We're going on a journey to nowhere

Our lamp will shine on the way we must follow to its darkest end
Deep in the ocean lies the home of the fish-child crystal palaces
Wave farewell, destiny is calling from another place
Day is dying, when the long night is over we may meet again

All aboard concern
We're going on a journey with no return
All aboard concern
We're going on a journey to nowhere
All aboard concern
We're going on a journey with no return
All aboard concern
We're going on a journey to nowhere

Hear the sirens' voice that chill your soul with sounds like ice
That fall beyond the barren reaches of your being
Watch the porpoise dance, fill your mind with sights that glance
And light inside the misty shadows of your seeing
Walk the ocean bed and feel your blood like molten lead
That bears upon the secret limits of sensation
Drink the Neptune wine and taste the drops that had their time
Of birth within the hidden chaos of creation

Timeship, tailing across volcanic wastes as earth was born
Timeship, crossing the barren sands before the sphinx was formed
Timeship, watching Atlantis slip into a darkened sea
Timeship, meeting a race beyond the stars to set us free

The sails are set and our ship is dancing on the silver waves
Time is fading, we just raise the anchor and we sail away
The net is thrown and our dream is turning through a golden storm
Colours in motion, we just sail the way of the timeship to a distant shore
Sail the way of the timeship to a distant shore
Sail the way of the timeship to a distant shore
