Nova Albion, your haven we must leave Find our way on a silent sea Brave men did before with unshakable belief Sailed around the world and so shall we The war of crowns seems to be a tale so far away This is the time to write my own tale New horizons lie beyond the sun’s golden doors Riding high on waves of fortune without fear New horizons for this son of English shores And the fire of the cannons lights the way Hundreds were lost in fifty days of storm In all those endless fights and treachery Sailing for the queen we are gambling with our lives In many of her games I’ve been the key The war of crowns seems to be a tale so far away This is the time to write my own tale (I know that I won’t fail) I see the strongest ships and daring men in company Seven seas – here I’m coming New horizons lie beyond the sun’s golden doors Riding high on waves of fortune without fear New horizons for this son of English shores And the fire of the cannons lights the way (An apprehension) (Means inquisition) (Faith collision) (Leads to division) Give us just a reason, we’ll be devil’s breed instead of men Do not try to fool us as no one can Give us just a reason, we’ll be devil’s breed instead of men Do not try to fool us as no one can The war of crowns seems to be a tale so far away This is the time to write my own tale (I know that I won’t fail) I see the strongest ships and daring men in company Seven seas – here I’m coming New horizons lie beyond the sun’s golden doors Riding high on waves of fortune without fear New horizons for this son of English shores And the fire of the cannons lights the way New horizons lie beyond the sun’s golden doors Riding high on waves of fortune without fear New horizons for this son of English shores And the fire of the cannons lights the way

When silence comes and I focus all on the inside I take a look into my past Full of wrongs, full of rights The story of my life So many different places Enjoyed so many nights I dance with chances I made my way Until this present day... You are one I’d give my life for You are the one who is haunting my dreams (haunting my dreams) Oh, how I long to be yours forevermore For all time our love shall be prime I still see you dancing... That night in that shiny hall The same old boring gentry Then you caught my eyes You played your game Used all your sweetest words I was entertained but tell me, are they true? Things they say about you A mason and a spy He knows all beds Escaped the leads Oh, Chevalier tell me another lie You are one I’d give my life for You are the one who is haunting my dreams (haunting my dreams) Oh, how I long to be yours forevermore For all time our love shall be prime (Hold me) How can I? (A game) like all your gambles? (The only) until this day is gone? (Hold me) How can I? (A game) like all your gambles? What can I do to change your mind...? You are one I’d give my life for You are the one who is haunting my dreams (haunting my dreams) Oh, how I long to be yours forevermore For all time our love shall be prime I’ll make this vow tonight... I see all lights are low Show me I have to go Venice can ease all my pain Will do so once again ...

[The Captain:] The sea is deep and blue No shallow waters are in sight And hearts should be so light North winds sing Tell us of an unknown coast We’ve gone southernmost to glorify the king We have raised his coat of arms Wherever we have landed Our dreams of foreign shores were flying high Now, a victim of democracy am I No one has ever sailed so far from home The one who wishes to go on is me alone Turning back feels like I’d leave a child behind Oh fate be kind We passed a raving storm That left us all in mortal fear So why are we still here? Don’t you see, don’t you see this tempting chance? Reaching India and other lands by sea We have raised his coat of arms Wherever we have landed Our dreams of foreign shores were flying high Now, a victim of democracy am I No one has ever sailed so far from home The one who wishes to go on is me alone Turning back feels like I’d leave a child behind Oh fate be kind [The Crew’s Choir:] So distant horizons Behind them doom is waiting Two more days we will sail If this fails we’ll be turning No one has ever sailed so far from home The one who wishes to go on is me alone Turning back feels like I’d leave a child behind Oh fate be kind No one has ever sailed so far from home The one who wishes to go on is me alone Turning back feels like I’d leave a child behind Oh fate be kind

They could not control us and started to fear us So our story had to end... Almost two hundred years have passed And it seems that I will be the last Last of the masters, faithful and bold Who’s now tired and old The Templar cross is growing pale (growing pale) We never thought our plans would fail (never fail) A sacred ambition, a heavenly mission: Liberate the Holy Land Our power grew stronger, they tarry no longer So our story has to end Maybe we somehow lost our ways And have fallen from God’s grace But He’ll remember our noble aims When we’ll die by the flames The Templar cross is growing pale (growing pale) We never thought our plans would fail (never fail) A sacred ambition, a heavenly mission: Liberate the Holy Land Our power grew stronger, they tarry no longer So our story has to end Oh Jesus forgive me, they made me lie Be with me, watch over me when I die... The Templar cross is growing pale (growing pale) We never thought our plans would fail (never fail) A sacred ambition, a heavenly mission: Liberate the Holy Land Our power grew stronger, they tarry no longer So our story has to end A sacred ambition, a heavenly mission: Liberate the Holy Land Our power grew stronger, they tarry no longer So our story has to end

It comes again When the temples are shining in golden light And day fades away Deep inside there’s a feeling that I have not chosen well My role in this play All this time I have been a good soldier whose will was strong So I played my part A painful song is the cry of a friend as they raise the knife To cut out his heart I’ve never tasted fear but now I know Fearful nights and days of woe Our raging treasure hunt has ended here What’s the use of all gold when death is near? State of siege A peaceful ending out of reach Our vessels were burning on the beach The general, he left us no choice but to die in this land In their eyes we were heralds of gods who would bring liberation Far too late they did realize what we bring is damnation I’ve never tasted fear but now I know Fearful nights and days of woe I’ve heard my promised piece of land’s right here I’ll resign it, my friend, my death is near! State of siege A peaceful ending out of reach Our vessels were burning on the beach The general, he left us no choice but to die in this land Hear me, god, I am a simple man who’s praying for a chance to return home again Oh I’ve shot so many men, I’m sick of killing, save my life, get me out of this land Hear me, god, to stay alive Hear me, god, I am a man who’s praying for a chance to stay alive Save my life, I’m sick of killing State of siege A peaceful ending out of reach Our vessels were burning on the beach The general, he left us no choice but to die in this land State of siege A peaceful ending out of reach Our vessels were burning on the beach The general, he left us no choice but to die in this land

So ends the tale of a hero with a true English heart Of a man who knows pain and sorrow and fortunes in life Villain, then hero, then scapegoat was I Once I was knighted, now my star disappeared in a darkening sky Never feared the enemy, not on land, nor on sea Beating loud inside me, I can’t negate I’ve been always fighting for, for my Queen forevermore The empire’s blade for a changing fate This news is too disappointing to ignore it, Sir Drake! Sunken ships and twelve thousand fallen, a disastrous mistake! You’ve been a daring, reliable man – I’m still that man! Upright and loyal to his Queen and land And now our union must end Never feared the enemy, not on land, nor on sea Beating loud inside me, I can’t negate We’ve been always fighting for our land forevermore The empire’s blade for a changing fate The island’s fate forever – may England’s people ever Know well our names and honor – our legacy... Will now the overrun armada rise again? (Finally tide has turned) I fear the menace of invasion is at hand... (Hear me now, I have learned my lesson, please be gracious) I shall never fail anymore! Never feared the enemy, not on land, nor on sea Beating loud inside me, I can’t negate We’ve been always fighting for our land forevermore The empire’s blade for a changing Never feared the enemy, not on land, nor on sea Beating loud inside me, I can’t negate (can’t negate) We’ve been always fighting for our land forevermore The empire’s blade for a changing fate Never feared the enemy, not on land, nor on sea Beating loud inside me, I can’t negate (can’t negate) We’ve been always fighting for our land forevermore The empire’s blade for a changing fate The island’s fate forever...

We can’t deny the signs clearly showing the times are changing Floods rise and comets fly Is this the end? Is judgment night? Drawing lines and colors true and fair I create a mirrored universe I see the world through different eyes – that’s the painter’s soul and mind My hands are guided by a force – some would call divine A gifted man, but I know there is still so much to learn And in some dreams canvas starts to burn when I touch it I’ve been to foreign lands In north and south where legends dwell But perfect harmony Remains a mystery, hidden well Drawing lines and colors true and fair I create a mirrored universe I see the world through different eyes – that’s the painter’s soul and mind My hands are guided by a force – some would call divine A gifted man, but I know there is still so much to learn And in some dreams canvas starts to burn when I touch it Drawing lines and colors true and fair I create a mirrored universe I see the world through different eyes – that’s the painter’s soul and mind My hands are guided by a force – some would call divine I see the world through different eyes – that’s the painter’s soul and mind My hands are guided by a force – some would call divine A gifted man, but I know there is still so much to learn And in some dreams canvas starts to burn when I touch it And burn!

I’m glad we’re talking face to face You know I’ve got a job to do And I expect some help from you, too Soon you’ll call them in to torture me Why do you need this privacy? You’ll have your horrid joy anyway One more night and then in flames you’ll die Nothing you can do or say could change your fate You are mine! One more night and then in flames you’ll die We invented Lucifer to spread the fear across the nations I can’t negate the evidence They say you’ve healed a little girl With guidance from another world Then a good deed, now my last mistake You tell me my reward’s the stake Is this the Christian duty you preach? One more night and then in flames you’ll die Nothing you can do or say could change your fate You are mine! One more night and then in flames you’ll die We invented Lucifer to spread the fear across the nations (You’ve been caught) in our system of power and fear (We will break) your resistance, your confession is near (Malleus Maleficarum) (Malleus Maleficarum) (Malleus Maleficarum) (Malleus Maleficarum) Don’t you think God is watching? Your carnival of lies... won’t last eternally Trust my words, if he’s watching he has never showed And he won’t take your soul... One more night and then in flames you’ll die Nothing you can do or say could change your fate You are mine! One more night and then in flames you’ll die We invented Lucifer to spread the fear across the nations One more night and then in flames you’ll die We invented Lucifer to spread the fear across the nations

She found her homeland, she’s heir to the throne She fought all her battles alone 1567, there’s a lord lying dead on frozen ground Who did pull the wires in this plot? Will the murderer ever be found? Maybe she knows more than she pretends to know about his passing Who says a queen does never lie? She found her homeland in chaos and war The youngest of widows, a heart deeply sore Raised far away, but heir to the throne She fought all her battles alone 1587, winter’s grey, hatchets lay by scaffold’s side Wears two rosaries, dressed in black she appears Face veiled in white Guilty for high treason, that’s the reason for the execution Now by the hangman’s hand she’ll die She found her homeland in chaos and war The youngest of widows, a heart deeply sore Raised far away, but heir to the throne She fought all her battles alone She found her homeland in chaos and war The youngest of widows, a heart deeply sore Raised far away, but heir to the throne She fought all her battles alone She found her homeland in chaos and war The youngest of widows, a heart deeply sore Raised far away, but heir to the throne She fought all her battles alone

‘Unbelievable’ – that’s what they say when I speak true Then they jeer at me like fools may do So deplorable, this narrow-minded ignorance I won’t tell them how my story ends Tell me why should I lie As I’m going to die All my memories are true, I swear I remember them, the kingdoms of the rising sun I still hear the sound of silver chimes Gold and ivory, precious gems and silken robes Marble palaces from sunken times Tell me why should I lie As I’m going to die All my memories are true, I swear Illusions, all troubles and tears? Had I been dreaming my life for seventeen years? (Seventeen years) So many wonders I’ve seen Roaming the far eastern lands beyond desert sands My second life had begun In the service of China’s great Khan As a respected and far-travelled man I would see my dear homeland again Tell me why should I lie As I’m going to die All my memories are true, I swear Illusions, all troubles and tears? Had I been dreaming my life for seventeen years? (Seventeen years) So many wonders I’ve seen Roaming the far eastern lands beyond desert sands Illusions, all troubles and tears?

She wears a ruby necklace She's got those emerald eyes Her pace is graceful and her words are wise Hoping my pleading could get the treaty signed I tried so hard and failed again Then something's changed her mind So my time has come Nothing is impossible, it can be done A course no navigator's sailed before To India's shores The conquest of Granada Impossible, they said But she has courage no one's ever had She proved them wrong and so will I My dream will never die So my time has come Nothing is impossible, it can be done I'll sail into the west and showing everyone That nothing is impossible, I'll be the one To find a course no navigator's sailed before To India's shores When I close my eyes I see cities made of gold In a land where nobody grows old So my time has come Nothing is impossible, it can be done I'll sail into the west and showing everyone That nothing is impossible, I'll be the one To find a course no navigator's sailed before To India's shores

Oh mio Dio, perché cosi buio? [?] del giorno? [?] angeli [?] Che citá! In la fide! Il grande osservatore del cielo [?] a la sua vita E la luce, abbandonato suoi occhi... per sempre! Che le será?
Light has gone I’ll never see the sun again My days will be as dark as my nights A question burning in my mind: What is left to do for the observer when he’s blind? The telescope was my obsession I longed to see the wonders of the sky Moon and Sun and Jupiter’s companions The Milky Way in all its splendor, stars numbered high I know the key to the book of creation Wandering a dark maze are those who don’t know All those years in shame and in torture Self-denial has clouded my ways Verity comes as time is passing I’ll fade away but my legacy stays To illustrate all that surrounds us To praise the glory of our maker’s plan This I thought to be my only mission A different picture of the world, a blessing for mankind I tried to open their hearts and their eyes A trial in Rome swept my good hopes away All those years in shame and in torture Self-denial has clouded my ways Verity comes as time is passing I’ll fade away but my legacy stays Sight is gone, I’ll never see the world again My days will be as dark as my nights Still a question in my mind: What is left to do for me now, old of age and blind? I tried to open their hearts and their eyes A trial in Rome swept my good hopes away All those years in shame and in torture Self-denial has clouded my ways Verity comes as time is passing I’ll fade away but my legacy stays

I see the questions in your eyes No burning fire, no glistening light is shining Wake up from your dreams, just start your life Don't look back again, decades of time Find out the reasons, why are you down? Is there an answer, where safety can be found? I'll help you searching, give you my hands It’s much too easy to be sucked into the bag of lies I can hear you crawling I can see your fall to your death Afraid of the emptiness I can hear you crawling I can see you in different worlds An empty shadow is rising The silence awakes me A terrible underworld is coming down to me Destroying my sight Against my will a bright shining guiding light Is calling my name, is leading my life But it never will win Your so-called friends are now away I am the only one who wants to stay Your flesh is weak, your mind is grey I am the only one who wants to stay I can hear you crawling I can see your fall to your death Afraid of the emptiness. An empty shadow is rising The silence awakes me A terrible underworld is coming down to me Destroying my sight Against my will a bright shining guiding light Is calling my name, is leading my life But it never will win... I can hear you crawling I can see your fall to your death Afraid of the emptiness An empty shadow is rising The silence awakes me A terrible underworld is coming down to me Destroying my sight Against my will a bright shining guiding light Is calling my name, is leading my life But it never will win...
