I'm drifting on my own odyssey crossing the Hercules Gate
Floating past the Scylla's Hold I waved and grinned: it's certain death I'm told!
Yes...I could stay, remain so safe, remain the same
So tame and lame and live in vain, wake to a Day of Mays
I'd rather burn and never fade than be afraid - No!
I'd better live for just one day and make it worth a tale
I laugh! In the face of death! I dance! On two broken legs!
I Laugh! There is always chance! I joke! With a rope around my neck!
I laugh! Lying on my deathbed! I'm here...nothing I regret!
I crossed the seas just to spread my name, carve it high
On the mountain range, I forced the stone to remember me
While I II be gone like writings in the sand...
I'll make it worth a tale...
I laugh! In the face of death! I dance! On two broken legs!
I Laugh! There is always chance! I joke! With a rope around my neck!
I laugh! Lying on my deathbed! I'm here...nothing I regret!
I've seen the end of the world I was never really scared
I'd look straight at the Gorgo's face
Don't think I wouldn’t dare...
And if we set out tomorrow now to see
The Mountain Ablaze and it meant
To go down and fail I'd do it all again...
I'd rather live for just one day
And make it worth a tale...
I laugh! In the face of death! I dance! On two broken legs!
I Laugh! There is always chance! I joke! With a rope around my neck!
I laugh! Lying on my deathbed! I'm here... I feel no more dread...
Nothing... nothing I regret!
