About

Adopted from 'The Mysterious Island' by Jules Verne

Lyrics

Intro

Heavy guitar riff, drums kicking in

Yeah!

Verse 1

Torn from the clouds in a prisoner's balloon

Five men falling, gonna hit the lagoon

No compass, no maps, just a sky full of thunder

Cyrus Harding shouts: "We won't go under!"

Neb, Pencroff, Gideon, Herbert stand tall

Shipwrecked together, we're ready to brawl

Pre-Chorus

No steel in our hands —

We’ll forge it from sand!

Chorus

We are the fire on LINCOLN ISLAND!

Build a kingdom with blood, sweat, and iron

From the caves to the cliffs, hear the hammer strike

Mysteries screaming but we own the night!

Five castaways — RAISE THE FLAG!

From wreckage we rise, yeah we’re taming the crash!

Verse 2

Tamed a dog, trained an ape, built a house in the stone

Made a river bend ‘cause the wilderness was our throne

Pirates on the shore, but we’re locked and we’re loaded

Then a ghost in the dark — every bullet he guided

Captain Nemo, broken man in the deep

Haunts the Nautilus while the volcano sleeps

Pre-Chorus

Shadows save us —

But the mountain’s raging!

Chorus

We are the fire on LINCOLN ISLAND!

Build a kingdom with blood, sweat, and iron

From the caves to the cliffs, hear the hammer strike

Mysteries screaming but we own the night!

Five castaways — RAISE THE FLAG!

From wreckage we rise, yeah we’re taming the crash!

Bridge

The earth split wide! The sky turned black!

The island we conquered is breaking its back!

Nautilus rising, one last command —

“God and my country…” before he sank!

The Duncan found us in the smoke and flame

We lost the land, but we kept our name!

*Guitar Solo*

Final Chorus [double-time drums]

We WERE the fire on LINCOLN ISLAND!

Took nothing and made it something with iron!

Now the sea’s our grave, but the story’s alive

Mysteries buried where the volcano died!

Five castaways — SCREAM OUR NAME!

We crashed as strangers, we left as FLAME!

Outro [guitar solo fading into power chords]

From balloon to bedrock… to ash in the rain…

Lincoln Island! We’ll rise again!
