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

there’s nothing to lose

and so much to win

a challenge for those who have

a lion within
