 Lyrics:
 
 Was many years ago that I left home and came this way
 I was a young man, full of hopes and dreams
 But now it seems that all is lost and nothing gained
 Someimes things ain't what they seem
 
 No brave new world, no brave new world
 No brave new world, no brave new world
 
 Night and day I scan horizon, sea and sky
 My spirit wanders endlessly
 until the day will dawn and friends from home discover why
 Hear me calling, rescue me
 
 Set me free, set me free
 Lost in this place, and leave no trace
 
 Stranger in a strange land
 Land of ice and snow
 Trapped inside this prison
 Lost and far from home
 
 One hundred years have gone and men again they came that way
 To find the answer to the mystery
 They found his body where it fell that day
 Preserved in time for all to see
 
 No brave new world, no brave new world
 Lost in this place, to leave no trace
 
 What became of the man that started
 All are gone and souls departed
 Left me here in this prison
 So all alone
 
 Stranger in a strange land
 Land of ice and snow
 Trapped inside this prison
 Lost and far from home
 
 What became of the man that started
 All are gone and souls departed
 Left me here in this prison
 So all alone
 
 Stranger in a strange land
 Land of ice and snow
 Trapped inside this prison
 Lost and far from home
