The Adventurer |
This mysterious world is my clever temptress, |
Rife with dark places and arcane wonders. |
Into her arms I am drawn by a beauty unmatched |
And the challenge of her seductive, mortal dangers |
I’ve climbed Kilimanjaro with my clockwork boots. |
Looked down on Malaysia from my hydrogen sloop. |
My blood. |
It hungers for the unknown’s call. |
I will never rest until I’ve experienced it all. |
The city is a prison for damned spirits and minds |
I thrive in the wilds of the Earth s unexplored corners |
No theory no idea shall remain untried. |
So long as there s stean within my iron boilers. |
I’ve learned bushido from a one-armed samurai |
Survived a hurricane by sheltering in its eye |
My blood. |
It hungers for the unknown’s call. |
I will never rest until I’ve experienced it all. |
The journey is never done as long as I can dream. |
Even when I’m too old to rise to my feet. |
When my rifle’s empty and my goggles lay broken. |
My dirigible’s deflated, and my last report spoken. |
When my horizon s gone dark and my flesh has grown cold |
Into my mistress arms I ll deliver my soul. |
I’ve dodged the cannons of the Sultan’s troops. |
Sailed the Amazon with a mercenary crew |
Paid my respects to Shiva at Mount Kailash |
Walked with the buffalo in a Sioux spirit trance |
Now I watch the northern lights dance across the sky |
And wonder where I ll stand come the sunrise |
I hear nothing but the unmistakable call |
The adventurer never rests until he’s lived it all. |
