Here, back, down a long and straight track

I have chose the long road -

That leads me to god knows

So I can't stop right now



Even the good stars can fall from grace and falter

Lose their faith and slide

But I can't get an ocean that's deep enough for my day



It's the first of the ascension

It's a sad way we've flown before the storm

And her last words were 'I'm always thinking of youIn my olden days I was a slave



Well now it's time for to sound your voice

And capture what your after

My ship was sold right up the river

But I'm not going down here

This journey isn't over

It's a long way to the house of Fitzcarraldo

And her last words were 'I'm always thinking of youIn my olden days I was a saint



Even the good stars can fall from grace and falter

Like lapdogs that stride that mystery

And her last words were 'I'll see you down in history

It's the only way that we can go I shall eclipse you



It's a long way to Fitzcarraldo

And I don't want to pray for you

In the name of something true
