The desert in the blazing sun
I feel my throat is burning
Oh, the guard is incorruptible
You name it vanity or yearning - oh

Who's raising his own decline

And the navigator is heading for hell
Setting off on a journey
He'll never return
And the navigator he rose and he fell
In quest for heaven
He'll never return

Hey the seeker reaching for the stars
Beyond the scape of profanity
Oh and when he tried to touch the light
Fire burned his sanity away

Oh I gotta see it all
Tempting deities I hear them
But then when you follow their call
Pride goes before the fall

And the navigator...
