About this song
I cast no spell — no, I cast my eyes. Captain Sisay was born immune to magic on a plane drowning in it, and she chose the impossible job: track down the scattered heroes and artifacts of the Legacy, recruit them one by one, and captain a flying ship full of wizards toward the end of the world. She doesn't cast spells. She collects myths.
Lyrics
[Intro] Listen close, my crew... [Verse 1] I was born to a magic-tired land With a name and a quest in my hand The Legacy lost, the world undone Find them, bring them home, every one So I took to the deck of a ship that flies And I cast no spell — no, I cast my eyes On the wizards and warriors none could find And one by one, I bound them mind to mine [Pre-Chorus] You come from the tavern You come from the throne You come from the temple We're going home [Chorus] I'll find them, I'll bring them home Every god-touched hand, every soldier's bone I'll find them where the dark winds blow And the Weatherlight will know I am the captain — no spell, no crown Just a steady hand on the wheel of a wandering town And the Legacy will rise from the long below When I find them, when I bring them home [Verse 2] They put me in chains in a stronghold dark And I knew — I knew — they would mark the spark Tahngarth would horn down the iron door And Gerrard would come, like the prophets swore Squee at my elbow, that goblin small Who once saved a captain and gave his all You don't earn this crew with a coin or a name You earn them by going to where they came [Pre-Chorus] You come from the burning You come from the lost You come from the sleeping Whatever the cost [Chorus] I'll find them, I'll bring them home Every god-touched hand, every soldier's bone I'll find them where the dark winds blow And the Weatherlight will know I am the captain — no spell, no crown Just a steady hand on the wheel of a wandering town And the Legacy will rise from the long below When I find them, when I bring them home [Bridge] I cannot cast a spell I cannot wear the throne I cannot raise the dead I cannot stand alone But I can hear a hero And I can name a friend And I can sail the sky Until the very end [Final Chorus] I'll find them, I'll bring them home Every god-touched hand, every soldier's bone I'll find them where the dark winds blow And the Weatherlight will know I am the captain — no spell, no crown Just a steady hand on the wheel of a wandering town And the Legacy will rise from the long below When I find them, when I bring them home (So gather to the rail, my crew — the dawn is on the bay The whole lot of you, the broken lot of you We have one more world to save) [Outro] We're going home...
