Worth A Tale

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 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!
Fear? Nay! Doubts? Nay! Guts? Aye! Danger? Hey!
Dreams? Aye! Turn Back? Nay! Chances? Rare! Death? May!

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'll be gone like writing 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 ofthe 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!
