The Diving Bell – We Came, We Conquered lyrics
When I was young and brave
I sailed with the crew of the Whiskey Jane
South and south and south
It got warm, then cold again
To the edge of the map and farther
We sailed through waters fierce and fair
To wonders that lay beyond us
To be the first ones there
We came, we conquered
The wild frontier
We asked and answered
Every question there
Til there were no more
She had a Pontiac like a pirate ship
Bent on risk and ill-gotten gain
South and south and south
To the coast, in a torrid rain
We sent men into orbit
Then got bored and brought them home
The west is won and settled
There are no more unknowns
Bridge:
‘Twas the dead of night and winter
When the wind began to whisper
There were lights beneath the water
And a song
So much yet to prove
But nothing to explore
I sailed with the crew of the Whiskey Jane
South and south and south
It got warm, then cold again
To the edge of the map and farther
We sailed through waters fierce and fair
To wonders that lay beyond us
To be the first ones there
We came, we conquered
The wild frontier
We asked and answered
Every question there
Til there were no more
She had a Pontiac like a pirate ship
Bent on risk and ill-gotten gain
South and south and south
To the coast, in a torrid rain
We sent men into orbit
Then got bored and brought them home
The west is won and settled
There are no more unknowns
Bridge:
‘Twas the dead of night and winter
When the wind began to whisper
There were lights beneath the water
And a song
So much yet to prove
But nothing to explore
