Iron Maiden - The Talisman (lyrics)

I do not own anything from this video. This is for entertainment purposes.

Lyrics:
When I stand and look about the port and contemplate my life
Will I ever see my countrymen again
As the captain calls us on the deck I take my things and walk
To the harbourside I glance back one last time

Fleeing our nation, our problems we leave behind
Ships by the tenfold sail out on the tide
We are pleased to be out and embracing the open sea
Free from our troubles and more free from Thee

Inheritors unfulfilled reason behind us
We flee from what is not what is will be
We flee the earth and face our harsh reality
Will death be low mist that hangs on the sea

We run from evil tongues, rash judgements selfish men
Never to be seen on these shores again

As we sail into oceansize and lose sight of land
A face of contentment around in the air
We're off now to seek all our fortunes to the land of our dreams

Riding the waves and the storm is upon us
The winds lash the sails but the ropes keep them tight
Off in the distance a dark cloud approaching
None could imagine what there was to come

No there's no one going back
No there's not a second chance
As we strap onto the side, we pray to God that we won't die

As we ride the rough seas
As we soak from the ocean waves
I just hope for all our lives and pray that I survive

Four ships are lost in the stormy conditions
The spirits of the sunken crews
Their phantoms follow us

Spirits sails they drive us on through the all consuming waves
Cold mortality no weapon against these ever raging seas

Four leagues and ten and we hit storms again
We just can't get away from the eye of the storm

The birds outsoar the raging storm but we cannot escape it
Abandoned earth that we now crave is many leagues from safe

Holding on for your dear lives and we're praying once again
Rotten luck or just jonahed, the talisman is in my hand

Limbs fatigued trembling with cold, blinded from the sea spray salt
Clasping anything we can hold, Heaven's rain upon us falls

Twenty days without a meal and ten without fresh water still
Those that didn't die in storms the scurvy rest did slaughter

Westward the tide
Westward we sail on
Westward the tide
Sail by the talisman

We approach the other side of the ocean with the tide
In our favour just for once, welcome greeting our new land
The elation in our hearts, the excitement in our veins
As we sail towards the coastline of our golden promised land

Weary limbs fatigued away I have no life left in me
No more strength and nothing left to give
Must find the will to live

Never thought that we could make it
Truly sight of shores divine
The sickness I am dying from
Never wanted it to end this way

Westward the tide
Westward we sail on
Westward the tide
Sail by the talisman

Westward the tide
Westward we sail on
Westward the tide
Sail by the talisman
