A vessel borne from wisdom Fit to sail the high torrid seas A crew of vagabonds and heroes From South America and the Pyrenees Guided by the Captain Sir George the fifth Set sail across the treacherous Atlantic pond A message comes from the crows nest An island east where the coast line stretches at the front and beyond Moored up on the sand The rusty anchor drops into the blue The Captain demands exploration From his uneducated but loyal crew A vast Island of cliffs and sand Where the trees touch the blue diamond sky Etched into rocks are the tribal marking Saying 'No further or you will die' Captured by the natives And slain one by one A voyage of discovery abolished Under the eyes of the blistering sun
