Lyrics: A ship of forty guns On a circumnavigation To be the only one We sail south by southwest Exploration is the quest To be the very best We head for the unknown We're out here on our own A thousand miles from home Where does this landmass hide From searching far and wide What treasure lies inside Out on the ocean adventure awaits Delve into the uncharted lands far away It's only a legend until proven real We have got a world to unveil, so set sail For the south From Lima to Cadiz We sighted twenty leagues At fifty-two degrees The coast was wild - no shoal Had no escape from the cold In fifteen hours of storm Out on the ocean adventure awaits Delve into the uncharted lands far away It's only a legend until proven real We have got a world to unveil, so set sail For the south

Lyrics Fields of green as far as eyes can see Our arrival finally The struggle and the search for pride and glory Across the open mountain side Through the forest dark we ride Behind shattered walls in caves and ruins we'll find Caught deep in the age of exploration A search for the truth Our quest, fearless and brave, without hesitation To seek wealth and youth We pave our way through this place Strangers approaching, we can hear them call Man the cannons to fight once and for all What is this unknown place And how do I escape As we ride the crest of a massive ocean wave I see a dark cloud straight ahead And we brace ourselves again A beam of light before my eyes I wake up in a cloudy desert land Lost and clueless in a sea of sand Caught deep in a state of desolation I search for the shoreline So fearless and brave Could I have been dreaming? Caught deep in the age of exploration I escape from this isle My quest, fearless and brave, percieved innovation I was lost in my mind Illusions emerge uncontrolled

Lyrics: They sure did a number on this one It's a wreck beyond repair Must have gone through a dreadful turmoil It vents an eerie air Mast broken in several places And the hull is riddled with holes Black sails torn like paper A view that jars my soul Below the deck we found a fortune of pure gold Ingots and a crown, seemingly rather old An ancient Aztec treasure cursed by a deadly spell Best not to touch, else we might all go straight to Hell (Like I said, something fell out of the sky There was this hairy monster It jumped off the ship, and then it was gone And the hands, the hands! Hands just sprouted all over me and then everything went black The soft touch of a woman That thing is a... ghost ship!) Ghost ship But that's preposterous Yes, Sir There's no way that's a Ghost ship Do you expect me to believe that it's not a lie Ghost ship But that's preposterous Aye, aye, Sir There's no way that's a Ghost ship Do you expect me to believe this obvious jive Commander, I am here to give you my report Of statements from the men who seized it at their wharf According to the seven shipwrights at their post Well, they said... Well, they said... They said they saw a ghost! Ghost ship But that's preposterous Yes, Sir There's no way that's a Ghost ship Do you expect me to believe that it's not a lie Ghost ship But that's preposterous Aye, aye, Sir There's no way that's a Ghost ship Do you expect me to believe this obvious jive We did not find hide nor hair of the crew And what's more, I hear talk of ghosts from the mechanics The Commander himself did call it a ghost ship too It is true, this is no ruse, it is a ghost ship

Lyrics: Bright sun, the day was young I was only ten I was strolling down the docks When I was hollered by a pack of strange men "Hey, kid, you look tough; Wanna tag along? We have got a sturdy carrack With a jolly crew and lots of strong rum" I never thought I'd leave my hometown But I knew deep down it never felt like home to me The journey's never ending I know I've got no choice but to hold on To whatever I can keep From the moment that we set sail I've known the only place where I belong Is on the seven seas Dark clouds, a storm was brewing No land in sight We'd been sailing straight for forty days The captain started losing his mind Cold wind, icy rain I was standing watch The waves grew by the second We were all soon scattered around like floor mops I never thought I'd leave my hometown But I knew deep down it never felt like home I'm just an undistinguished orphan But I always dreamed that one day I would roam the sea This storm is never ending I know I've got no choice but to hold on To whatever I can reach From the moment that we set sail I've known this is the place where I belong Out on the seven seas The freezing water hit me Like a double wielded axe I saw my whole life flash before my eyes As the minutes passed I remained conscious Was I live or was I dead What fate would I be granted At the murky depths of the ocean bed The ocean's never ending I know I've got no choice but to hold on To the only thing i know From the moment that we set sail I've known the only place where I belong Is down with Davy Jones In the arms of a mermaid I'm lying so calm and unafraid We belong to the ocean I've waited so long for this closure Now my time has come to pass I'm home, I can rest in peace at last

about

Age of Exploration:

Part I: Terra Australis
This is the overture to a tale about a brave explorer of the seven seas. The year is 1680 as our hero sets sail, eager to discover what mysteries await in the land of the south - Terra Australis.

Part II: Uncharted Lands
As our hero reaches the southern tip of the Americas he discovers a barren island. Despite rough seas and a coast seemingly too rugged to disembark on, he remains optimistic.

Part III: The Search
Could it be, is it really true? Is this newly discovered island in fact a reservoir of treasure and gold? Determined to find the fortune that undoubtedly awaits, our hero takes the risk and ventures deep into this inhospitable land. But suddenly the sky turns black and there is sound of cannon fire and battle cries in the distance. Maybe this treasure hunt was not such a good idea after all?

Part IV: Ghost Ship
Back out on the open sea, the lookout discovers an apparently abandoned ship still afloat. They decide to investigate.

Part V: Into the Unknown
A storm has risen and our hero and his crew loses track of their position. The sailing conditions soon become so completely unbearable, even for these most able seafarers, that one by one they all get seasick.

Part VI: Journey's End
Certain that he will face his final demise in this dreadful storm, our hero reminisces about his childhood and why he put out to sea in the first place.
