Land of a Thousand Islands

[Verse] Copper gears hum in the deep blue glare My goggles fog with the briny air The steam pipe whistles A lonesome tune Beneath a brass-tinged afternoon [Prechorus] Through spyglass cracked and rimmed with rust I glimpse the future I taste the dust [Chorus] Islands on the horizon Resplendent Promises of dreams Luminescent Do they rise from dreams or sinking land Islands on the horizon I’ll take my stand [Verse 2] Pipes drip echoes of the engine’s groan The sea’s a clockwork beast All teeth and bone A zephyr bites It chills my skin But my heart’s a boiler Roaring within [Chorus] Islands on the horizon Resplendent Promises of dreams Luminescent Do they rise from dreams or sinking land Islands on the horizon I’ll take my stand [Bridge] Ropes creak like whispers The mast sways low What treasures wait where the wild winds blow A clock ticks faster The hour draws near Do we conquer fate or bow to fear [Chorus] Islands on the horizon Resplendent Promises of dreams Luminescent Do they rise from dreams or sinking land Islands on the horizon I’ll take my stand
