[Intro]
[Verse 1]
There was a hull forged in the Shivan dust
Grown from Yavimaya's crown
Sisay came first with the chart and the trust
Then a man with a sword came down
Gerrard at the wheel and his father's flame
Hanna's hand on the mast
Karn in the heart of the iron and brass
And we knew the world wouldn't last
[Pre-Chorus]
So we set our course past the edge of the maps
Where the gods of the deep don't sleep
And the storm we called and the storm we fought
Was the same one we couldn't keep
[Chorus]
She lifts above the burning sea
Through fire and the falling sky
We are the many, we are the one
And we will never die
We carried planes upon our backs
And we'll carry one more night
Lift her, lift her, lift her up
The Legacy in flight
[Verse 2]
Squee in the rigging and laughing alone
Tahngarth still bruised from the war
Mirri who fell when the shadow took home
Crovax with hunger for more
Ertai we lost on the Stronghold floor
Orim with stitches and salt
And Yawgmoth waiting on the other shore
And the cost of him was our fault
[Pre-Chorus]
So we set our course past the edge of the world
Where the names of the lost still sing
And the weight we held was the weight of a flame
That a thousand years would bring
[Chorus]
She lifts above the burning sea
Through fire and the falling sky
We are the many, we are the one
And we will never die
We carried planes upon our backs
And we'll carry one more night
Lift her, lift her, lift her up
The Legacy in flight
[Bridge]
There is a hand that no longer holds
There is a captain who fell
There is a silver one steering us home
Through a quiet none of us tell
And the wind in the canvas remembers his name
The boy who became the storm
Gerrard, Gerrard, the bell tolls true
And the ship sails on, reborn
[Final Chorus]
She lifts above the burning sea
Through fire and the falling sky
We are the many, we are the one
And we will never die
We carried planes upon our backs
And we'll carry every night
Lift her, lift her, lift her up
The Legacy in flight
Lift her, lift her, lift her up
Until the last star burns out white
[Outro]
Sail on, sail on, sail on
