In A Land

Call it back to eighteen eighty three

Where the roots held the ground and

Trees

Every breath was a gift in the breeze

In a land of sacred minds from divine

We believed

Now shadows fall where waters grew

Echoes fade from those fields I knew

Hands are empty, cracks on my skin

In a land of sacred minds from divine

We believed

Here we wait and wonder what the

Future will be

What will our children see?

In a land of sacred minds from divine

We believed

We are dust beneath the sky

Crimson gaze from evil's eye

Shivers into the void

Stone towers rise, rivers decayed

Ancient chants fade, heavens betrayed

Earth must breathe, as once as we

Prayed

In the ruins of a land of sacred minds

Once believed

What will remain when the silence

Bleeds?

What will our children need?

In the ruins of a land of sacred minds

Now taken by the damned

We are dust beneath the sky

Crimson gaze from evil's eye

Future inherits our wounds

If not us, and then who?

You

Awake! Awake! The green has grown

A sign of life the earth has grown

Your garments torn, your soul must mend

The path begins it has no end

Climb the tree, through branches sway

The leaves will fall, don't drift away

Take what drops, a gift, a sign

The call of faith, the call divine

Rise of sleeper, hear the sound

The fleeting time, won't turn around

Daylight fades, the nights is near

Awake! Awake! The truth is clear

Our children can't see what we see if we

Fail to guard their destiny

When earth calls, she calls to me, we

Must rise or cease to be

Tomorrow's eye, of you and I, could not

See what seems to be

Tree by tree, the choice is free, but the

Cost is eternity

We are dust beneath the sky

Crimson gaze from evil's eye

Future inherits our wounds

If not us, and then who?

Me
