Genres: Sci-Fi,I've walked the halls of monarchs, and I have seen
their tombs
I've delved into mines of salt, and stood in their
carven rooms,
I've wandered the streets of cities whose language I
did not know,
I've seen medieval cathedrals, and my friends in
falling snow.
Flying over the ocean, hanging over the sea
Ten years before could I have dreamed this would be me?
For a decade I'd been singing of adventure far and wide
Now the song I sing tells of adventure that was mine
And I have seen the seat of a past tyranny's might,
I have felt it's echoes though it's been years since
it's flight,
I've seen a club whose garish walls contrast with gray
concrete,
And I shared a table with a woman I didn't care to
meet.
[CHORUS]
I have walked a city square with streets cobbled and
wide,
And I have seen a young gypsy boy be harshly denied,
I've eaten salted fish and signed a wall to appease,
And I can finally say I've tried a Royale with Cheese.
[CHORUS]
I've gone without sleep so that I could see it all
I've gone from crowded pubs to ancient city walls
I've sung my songs from a stage in this foreign land,
And heard them sung back in words I didn't understand
[CHORUS]
