One day... one day...
It is going to happen.
I am sorry, but it's true. "

8 " I have never cared for castles or a crown that grips too tight,
Let the night sky be my starry roof and the moon my only light,
My heart was born a Hero,
My storm-bound sword won't rest,
I left this harbour long ago on a never-ending quest.
I am off to the horizon,
Where the wild wind blows the foam,
Come get lost with me, love,
And the sea shall be our home. "
