Crossing the line of demarcation
They took a passage to the west
Dead reckoning they doubled back
Into the north they anchored for bad weather
San Martin and Magellan almost lost sight of the flagship
The Santiago and Victoria led
No sign of land altered the course
Why not return for winter?
No violation of direct royal orders
The men, the officers, all cried return
No captains that had discipline-
rode the high seas in storms and mutiny (with the enemy)
Desperately they sought a haven in an age of discovery...
Extra precautions, setting anchor as they did
Terrified, the crews made pledges back to Spain for pilgrimage
Lighting fires at night to signal shipmates-at last deliverance
from the fury of this godforsaken place they named the bay
of travail-
Ride the high seas in storms and mutiny (with the enemy)
Desperately they sought a haven in an age of discovery...
Genius or madman? So elusive were the straits
Battered were the ships and men
A stop for repairs in St. Julian
The crew wanted to know the route they'd begun
despite stirring exhortations for loyalty from Magellan
Onboard Concepcion there was mutiny in demand
And they moved to take the fleet at night
with the knowledge there was blood on their hands
But the tables turned-the remaining crew blocked the exit
to the sea
A sudden advantage for the general using ruthless strategy...
Target chosen shrewdly of three vessels controlled by the
mutineers
High numbers of neutral foreigners on Victoria would not
rise up against him.
Pulling hard against an ebb
Rebellion muted the message read:
No mistreatment, I'll do what's right
No heavy hand will rule the night
On the mainmast high, we'll raise his flag
court martial pending on Trinidad
Condemned to death were forty more
Mendoza quartered upon the shore
Poetic justice coming swift and severe
But how could he lose so many men?
Commute the sentence for the sin
Confined to quarters and distasteful labor
Convicted conspirators fallen in his disfavor
Philosophers and scholars began to challenge
The true dimensions of the earth (new evidence uncovered)
Finding the straits Magellan died triumphant
but no vindication came in time
No statesman, no royalty-
Rode the high seas in storms and mutiny (with the enemy)
Desperately they sailed the globe in a voyage of treachery
Circumnavigation returning Victoria with twenty-one
Determined by storms and mutiny
he conquered the sea
Though honor followed, a witness he would not be......
Silentist, viskas su laiku. Mėgstu 10cc, dažnai jų klausau, bet stengiuosi nepadauginti su mažaverčiais komentarais. Kai turiu kažkokią vertingą mintį apie klausomą dainą, tada jau nepagailiu savo laiko ir rašteliu komentarą.
Rūta, taip, nemokamas Spotify turi fiksuotą maišymo režimą, neįmanoma klausytis dainų iš eilės. Todėl nemokamas Spotify yra iš esmės useless dalykas (bent jau man, kuris daug ko klauso albumais ir preferably be reklaminių intarpų)
malia, INXS - Disappear ketvirtą dieną iš eilės? Gera daina, bet negi taip nėra idėjų kažką kitokio pasiūlyti? Tikrai atsibosta ir nuvilia tokie siūlymai
Einarui. Spotify, kiek pamenu, neleidžia paprastam vartotojui klausytis VISO albumo. Nepamenu, nes senokai moku. Nežinau, ar labai skiriu garso kokybę, bet kad negalėdavau klausytis albumų nemokamoj versijoj, prisimenu labai gerai.
