Carry On: Mystery Words Explanation

Carry On 
from Crusader 
by Chris de Burgh 

One of the most common questions on The Official Chris de Burgh
Mailing List is

What do these strange words in 'Carry On' mean? 

The answer is simple: read them backwards. 

This: 

Sratseht rofesruo cates,
Nwonknu no it anitsed,
Dlroweht gnillacsi esrevinu eht,
Ecalp gnitser lanif dnatsal rehs-drawot,

turns into this: 

Set a course for the stars, 
Destination unknown, 
The universe is calling the world, 
Towards her last and final resting place, 

Pretty clever, isn't it?
