A brave venture into the unknown.

This town always bothered me anyway.

Lyrics

I used to be an adventurer
Then the luck turned away from me
The call of the wild
So close to my heart
That its voice nearly moved me to tears

And awakened the beast
Hiding in me, moaning
Heading to the east
Where true adventure hides

Hic sunt leones
The words on the sign
We’re crossing the line
Into the no man’s land
Civilisation behind
There’s nothing to lose
And so much to win
A challenge for those who have
A lion within

The world of stone was never my home
Play games to remain on the throne
The closest of friends
All waiting for chance
To stab a knife in your back

One night at a feast
I had planned my journey
And catch’d a good breeze
To grab reins and ride

Hic sunt leones
The words on the sign
We’re crossing the line
Into the no man’s land
Civilisation behind
There’s nothing to lose
And so much to win
A challenge for those who have
A lion within

Hic sunt leones
The words on the sign
We’re crossing the line
Into the no man’s land
Civilisation behind

Hic sunt leones
The words on the sign
We’re crossing the line
There’s so much to lose
And nothing to win
A challenge for fools who want
To lose everything
