Learn the secrets of kings and queens
Famous lovers interpret dreams
Powerful nations return to the dust
Fearful passion on pride and lust
Trace the borders, so many lines
Maps and orders, land for our lives
Wild adventures and daring escapes
Paid assassins and the widows they make
Sail away, say goodbye
C'est la vie, don't you cry
Sail away, say goodbye
C'est la vie, don't you cry
Sound of fury, their battle cry
Brave or crazy, they surely will die
Another child lies in his mother's arms
Warm and cosy, no need for alarm
Don't be alarmed
Cold and ragged with icy feet
On these supposed golden streets
Where eyes pillage the answers of time
Rise determined to answer their cry
