[00:54.21] Here, back, down a long and straight track
[01:03.51] I have chose the long road
[01:09.41] That leads me out to god knows
[01:15.62] So I can't stop right now
[01:30.37] Even the good stars can fall from grace and falter
[01:40.45] Lose their faith and slide
[01:46.23] But I can't get an ocean that's deep enough for my day
[01:58.58] It's the first of the ascension
[02:01.75] It's a sad way we've flown after the storm
[02:07.34] And her last words were "I was only thinking of you"
[02:14.11] In my golden days
[02:18.29] I was a slave
[02:32.10] Well now it's time for to sound your voice
[02:38.43] And capture what you're after
[02:44.81] My ship was sold right up the river
[02:54.22] But I'm not going down here
[03:00.45] This journey isn't over
[03:03.38] It's a long way to the house of Fitzcarraldo
[03:09.56] And her last words were "I'm always thinking of you"
[03:15.88] In my golden days
[03:20.17] I was a saint
[03:45.57] Even the good stars can fall from grace and falter
[03:52.85] Like lapdogs that stride that mystery
[03:58.43] And her last words were "I'll see you down in history"
[04:05.15] It's the only way that we can go
[04:16.00] I shall eclipse you
[04:57.50] It's a long way to Fitzcarraldo
[05:10.51] I don't want to pray for you
[05:22.74] In the name of something true
