Here's a sweeping, mini-epic about an ill-fated treasure hunting expedition. For a very long time, this song was on the verge of being cut from the album, but made a strong finish. It wasn't particularly tough to sing; I mean, it's mostly B-flats over and over. It was more a matter of fitting the correct words in at the right time. The result turned out to be a mostly good setting. Out of all tunes on this album, these lyrics were probably the most revised. And with each revision came just a bit more clarity. It turns out that keeping this track on the roster was a good idea. So what was the second-most revised tune? That would be "Phantom Sub," featured many episodes ago on this very podcast.
