The Shooting Company Of Captain Frans B. Coco Lyrics - Ayreon

"It is the 17th century. I am a noble ensign-bearer posing with my guild for the Dutch 

master painter, Rembrandt van Rijn, in Amsterdam." 

[Mouse, Lana Lane] 

I'm standing proud 

In this noble crowd 

My banner raised high the coat of arms of Amsterdam 

To the mystic sky a magic light enchants the land 

We're marching on 

The shooting company of Captain Frans B. Cocq 

My uniform shines the livery of a high-born man 

The Claw-guild signs immortalized by the master's hand 

Light and shade with colors rich and brushwork bold 

Night and day with shadows black and amours gold 

We're marching on 

The shooting company of Captain Frans B. Cocq 

I'm standing proud 

In this noble crowd 

In our golden age eternalized by the artist's hand 

A glorious page in the history of our tiny land 

We're marching on 

Up to the battlefield to where the spirits walk 

The shooting company of Captain Frans B. Cocq
