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.
lyrics
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

To me, this is a milestone in progressive metal. Everything on this record is so good on so many levels. Composition, arrangements, rhythmic patterns, chord progressions, riffs, melodies, solos, tones, textures, sound... What a masterpiece! Ricardo Pinto
