About this song
From the forges of Shiv to the burning skies of the Apocalypse, the Skyship Weatherlight has carried the weight of worlds. Hear the names of its legendary crew—Gerrard, Sisay, Karn, Hanna—and feel the pulse of the living wood as the Legacy takes flight one last time.
Lyrics
[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
