here be dragons


go down to the end of any road and keep on going past
out of the lands you've always known, to the edges of the map
i have gone that way before, when i was going fast
and maybe you and i will meet here, face to face at last

but here be dragons, here be dragons, here be dragons
yeah, right here

they say that i have fangs and wings and gold and iron scales
they say i slaughtered twenty knights and stole the holy grail
well some is true and some is lies and some's just not for sale
but if you ask in your own voice i'll tell you my own tale

that here be dragons, here be dragons, here be dragons
yeah, right here

so take a postcard back for me, and say the weather's fine
tell them i remember them from time to time to time
they speak a different language now and say a different line
but it's really not so far away, if you can read the signs

say here be dragons, here be dragons, here be dragons
yeah, right here

so here is where i'm living now, though i may live alone
no land can be strange for long if you will call it home
so though the burden's heavy, and though the journey's long
go down to the end of any road and keep on going strong

cause here be dragons, here be dragons, here be dragons
yeah, right here
yeah, come here
