Ice Age - Brave New World Lyrics

Thunder clouds pack the sky
At the break of dawn
Our hearts and eyes heavy now
The shoreline is gone
In a coffin with sails we rocked upon the waves
Sailing the high seas for a destiny yet unknown
We came from far and wide
Spoke in many different tongues
Deserting the acres of our famined land
Our meager possessions and our fate in our own hands
We're sailing the high seas for a brave new world
Sailing the high seas for a brave new
A brave new world
World
World
World
Come with me my friends in this haunting hour
Let's leave behind all their images of power
Let's break the shackles of this stoic oppression
Let's leave tonight for a brave new world
Running through the night away in droves
Crossing the borders crossing the big drink
Sailing away to a faraway land
Leaving tonight for a brave new world
No longer the crown to rule over our lives
No longer the clown to preach holy lies
The church and the monarchy cannot keep us down
The self-righteous bastards shall be burned to the ground
The cross and the crown cannot keep us down
The cross and the crown cannot trample us down
Down
Down
Down
Our bridges burned behind us
The old world far behind
At night we passed the bottle around and prayed for our lost friends
As the hail winds did blow
And the soaked us in grey death
Stricken with scurvy and starved to the bone
Food for the rats the sharks and the gulls
Barely alive but for the promise of a brave new world
World
World
World
Doomed to the depths of hell no land yet in sight
The nights they were cold as we huddled on deck
The smell of the sea was like a pestilent grave
Through ice and through sleet more of us died
In the gully of death only the strong survived
The valley of death only the strong
Strong survive
Come with me my friends in this haunting hour
Let's leave behind all their images of power
Let's break the shackles of this stoic oppression
Let's leave tonight for a brave new world
Running through the night away in droves
Crossing the borders crossing the big drink
Sailing away to a faraway land
Leaving tonight for a brave new world
Come with me my friends in this haunting hour
Let's leave behind all their images of power
Let's break the shackles of this stoic oppression
Let's leave tonight for a brave new world
Running through the night away in droves
Crossing the borders crossing the big drink
Sailing away to a faraway land
Leaving tonight for a brave new world
They stood like silhouettes against the reddening sky
Waiving their flags with Fenian pride
Some of us died with tears in our eyes
Before we could put a foot on shore of our brave new
World
