We Came We Conquered Lyrics - Singles - The Diving Bell

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
