Fitzcarraldo

Here back down a long and straight track
I 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 after the storm
And her last words were I was only thinking of you
In my olden days I was a slave
Well now it's time for to sound your voice
And capture what you're 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 you
In 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
