Appears on: Seed

|
Welcome to the world of the northern hemisphere
|
Greet the winds of this heavenly frontier
|
Water pure as the blood of Mary's son
|
Cast your fears to the northern lights above
|
Take the time, pull this splinter from your eye
|
View her tears as they're falling from the sky
|
Virgin child, on the verge of great demise
|
From the hands of the ruthless human kind
|
|
Chorus:
|
Don't tarnish this silver realm
|
Don't rain on her golden dreams
|
Don't lie to these open arms
|
Then wake up to find she's gone and won't be home again
|
|
Twilight is the time, vibrant colors paint the sky
|
Across the mountains, capped with snow and whipped-creamed clouds
|
The wind, she sings in a whisper soft and mild
|
Coaxed to sleep all the children of the land
|
Stand in awe as you're drifting off the shore
|
Watching glaciers cast their elders to the sea
|
A winter's rain cools the fever from your soul
|
Bringing peace to your spirit as it soars
|
|
Our ways have turned the world around
|
Split the chain and broke it down
|
She's drowning in the dark
|
|
Goodbye to the love of the land that graced our lives
|
Come corporations, watch the smoke infect the skies
|
Oil, it stains the beaches once alive
|
Test your conscience, test your will to pull the line
|
|
So save your sister homeland, you can, you can, yeah you can
|
