the lights come on
 
The set is down
The curtain's flown away
To all you creatures of the night
I say it's time we play
 
We'll show you things
 
That in your life
You'd never dreamed you'd know
So now before the ghosts arrive
It's welcome to the show
 
Minstrels
Kings
Explorers
fantasies on order
Ghosts and dreams awakened
Stories long forsakened
 
The minstrel and the sorcerer
Are switching their disguise
 
The jester drinks and starts to think
 
That he alone is wise
 
The governor and journalist
Exchange a judas kiss
And now before the song is done
The plot begins to twist
 
Ghosts and lost explorers
fate with all her daughters
Saints and hopeless sinners
Wise men in their winters
Know
 
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show
Welcome to the show
 
His life was nearly over
As he stood upon the beach
Thinking about death and the ocean
While still safely out of reach
 
And he held there in his hand
A well worn hourglass
And though the sand was still inside
 
Soon this too would pass
 
Then he knelt to touch the water
Where the waves would gently fall
Thinking here i touch the ocean
And the ocean touches all
 
for from a line of countless sailors
He was the last man of his kind
And the world had changed around him
He had no mountains left to climb
 
And his last name was magellan
A descendant of the same
 
Or so he said in late night bars
 
Though few believed his claim
 
And so he now talked with the ocean
As he had often done before
But now the waves spoke back to him
As he walked along the shore
 
for eighty years plus seven
He had been upon this earth
And all of them but eight
He'd spent on that ocean since his birth
 
But he was not the only one
Who walked along this coast
There was
