Sailors of Middle-earth:
How crazy was the all of that
(Never tried to sail back again)
For a long lost paradise
Ships of wonder reaching for the sun

Every eagle hears our daily prayer
Like an echo from a distant past
From western havens we have left
Ships of wonder lost in silent dreams

But we don't know where it is
It could be everywhere
And the sailor tells his tale
Endless tales

There's a price you must pay
If you search for the light
Distant ages might be
For the dream of a star
And the truth in my words
Shall be open to you
And the silence of death
It will unfold the truth

On a silent shore through fog and cliffs
Someone got there after years and years
Like an ivory tower high and proud
The white mountain watches from afar

For the Straight Road we'll forever go
Trying to find the old world of the Gods
Ever since the new age has begun
The whole world we travelled all around

It was the last thing that they saw
And it was the brightest one
With a joy that no one knows
They let their spirits fly

There's a price you must pay
If you search for the light
Distant ages might be
For the dream of a star
And the truth in my words
Shall be open to you
And the silence of death
It will unfold the truth
