[Verse 1]
"I will be there" said my friend of a distant life
Covered in greens of a golden age, set in stone
Follow me, "he sounded of dreams supreme" follow me
Drifting within the glow and the afterglow of the eve
[Chorus]
And if that firelight, I could match the inner flame
Sacred ships do sail the seventh age
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Cast off your garments of fear, replace them with love
Most of all play with the game of the age
Highest of places remain all as one with you
Giving us light and the freedom of the day
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
And if that firelight, I could match the inner flame
Sacred ships do sail the seventh age
And have always been here
[Verse 3]
Celestial travellers have always been here with us
Set in the homes of the universe we have yet to go
Countless expansions will arrive and flow inside of us
My friend, he of fantasy, dancing with the spirit of the age
