about

This is a song for Heinrich Schliemann (well all except for the 1st verse which is a bit weird) - anyways, check him out on the web - a real Indiana Jones......................

lyrics

Do you believe in a fate - Everything comes to him who waits
Chance will bring you all you need - Ambition is a form of greed
The wind that takes the autumn leaves
The tides within the silent sea
These things decide your destiny

But you - are the one - with a childish - obsession
The future has’nt happened yet - and there’s a past you can’t forget
Do you know where you want to be
Do you believe what you can see
or do you see what you believe

Shovels - in the hands of men
Makes a time machine - once again
Now it’s dusty - where there was dirt
The windy city - beneath the earth

So Turkey is out of bounds - Secret agents chase you around
They all want what you have found - Stolen secrets from the ground,
A jewellery cache and a face from the past
Is Helen’s necklace and Hector’s mask
Fate displays it’s winning ways at last

Now where - can that treasure be - Somewhere in Adolf’s legacy
But Sophie looked so fine - an image of the time - (was this?)
The face that launched 1000 ships
And caused the earth to move for you
And you to move the earth for it

Archaeology is somethin new - Homer laid a trail for you

A magic tale of golden days
Can seize your mind and change your ways
