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






"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."

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

    A Companhia de Tiro do Capitão Frans B. Cocq

    "É o século 17. Eu sou um nobre portador de bandeira posando com minha companhia para o mestre pintor holandês, Rembrandt van Rijn, em Amsterdã."

    [Mouse, Lana Lane]

    Eu estou em pé orgulhoso
    Nesta nobre multidão
    Minha bandeira ergueu alto o brasão de Amsterdã
    Para o céu místico uma luz mágica encanta a terra

    Nós estamos marchando
    A companhia de tiro do Capitão Frans B. Cocq

    Meu uniforme brilha a farda de um nobre homem
    Os sinais da garra da companhia imortalizados pela mão do mestre
    Luz e sombra com cores ricas e pinceladas em negrito
    Noite e dia com sombras negras e amores dourados

    Nós estamos marchando
    A companhia de tiro do Capitão Frans B. Cocq

    Eu estou em pé orgulhoso
    Nesta nobre multidão
    Em nossa era dourada eternizada pela mão do artista
    Uma página gloriosa na história da nossa pequena terra

    Nós estamos marchando
    Até o campo de batalha para onde os espíritos caminham
    A companhia de tiro do Capitão Frans B. Cocq

    Echoes rejoins Atom Heart Mother.

    The vocals have such a Lennon vibe to them. Can you imagine Lennon on an Ayreon album? Such a shame we'll never get to hear such a thing.

  7. T.... ....

    If you smash the beatles and pink floyd together you get this song :D

  8. O.... R....

    i like the background singers on its uplifting :)

  9. D.... K....

    :-) .......... this song brings back some very fond memories from a time when I purely by chance listened to an online prog rock station and this track cropped up. Somehow it "spoke" to something deep in both my heart and soul to such a degree I simply HAD to look further into what this Ayreon was about. That was the beginning of a fabulous adventure ...... and it became the musical love of my life! So even though there are so many other Ayreon tracks which I love even more I can truely say that for me this is what started it all! <3 <3

  10. F.... D....

    why if i search the universal migrator album it doesnt exist? i cant listen here

  11. T.... -....

    Op vinyl klinkt dit nummer echt geweldig! Tevens proficiat gewenst met uw nieuw album 'The Source'. Zoals altijd zeer geslaagd!

  12. d.... ....

    When Arjen uploads his music it adds +10 joy while listening

  13. S.... ....

    This one is probably my all time favorite

  14. I.... S....

    It's actually nice you got Astrid to derive another song from this; "High" is one of my Ambeon favorites along with "Sick Ceremony", "Sweet Little Brother", and "Cold Metal"—did she choose the passages herself? (◕◡◕)

  15. P.... ....

    RIP myself :-)
    Thanks for submitting the videos!!!
    Especially this!!!!

  16. D.... N....

    RIP subscription page
