歌曲 | Storms and Mutiny |
歌手 | Magellan |
专辑 | Impending Ascension |
作曲 : Gardner | |
Crossing the line of demarcation | |
They took a passage to the west | |
Dead reckoning they doubled back | |
Into the north they anchored for bad weather | |
San martin and magellan almost lost sight of the flagship | |
The santiago and victoria led | |
No sign of land altered the course | |
Why not return for winter? | |
No violation of direct royal orders | |
The men, the officers, all cried "return" | |
No captains that had discipline- | |
Rode the high seas in storms and mutiny (with the enemy) | |
Desperately they sought a haven in an age of discovery... | |
Extra precautions, setting anchor as they did | |
Terrified, the crews made pledges back to spain for pilgrimage | |
Lighting fires at night to signal shipmates-at last deliverance | |
From the fury of this godforsaken place they named the "bay | |
Of travail"- | |
Ride the high seas in storms and mutiny (with the enemy) | |
Desperately they sought a haven in an age of discovery... | |
Genius or madman? so elusive were the straits | |
Battered were the ships and men | |
A stop for repairs in st. julian | |
The crew wanted to know the route they'd begun | |
Despite stirring exhortations for loyalty from magellan | |
Onboard concepcion there was mutiny in demand | |
And they moved to take the fleet at night | |
With the knowledge there was blood on their hands | |
But the tables turned-the remaining crew blocked the exit | |
To the sea | |
A sudden advantage for the general using ruthless strategy... | |
Target chosen shrewdly of three vessels controlled by the | |
Mutineers | |
High numbers of neutral foreigners on victoria would not | |
Rise up against him. | |
Pulling hard against an ebb | |
Rebellion muted the message read: | |
"no mistreatment, i'll do what's right" | |
No heavy hand will rule the night | |
On the mainmast high, we'll raise his flag | |
Court martial pending on trinidad | |
Condemned to death were forty more | |
Mendoza "quartered" upon the shore | |
Poetic justice coming swift and severe | |
But how could he lose so many men? | |
Commute the sentence for the sin | |
Confined to quarters and distasteful labor | |
Convicted conspirators fallen in his disfavor | |
Philosophers and scholars began to challenge | |
The true dimensions of the earth (new evidence uncovered) | |
Finding the straits magellan died triumphant | |
But no vindication came in time | |
No statesman, no royalty- | |
Rode the high seas in storms and mutiny (with the enemy) | |
Desperately they sailed the globe in a voyage of treachery | |
Circumnavigation returning victoria with twenty-one | |
Determined by storms and mutiny | |
He conquered the sea | |
Though honor followed, a witness he would not be...... |
