lyrics

Brand around your neck
Lost in remains from a wreck
A noose that you escaped
You’re a child who never took man’s shape

Always wanting more,
But never trusting open doors
She will give and you will take
While the hangman’s on his break

This land is ours, this street is main
And it’s gentler here, this new terrain
Have we arrived at the source
We are students of the nature’s course

Lady luck, she found her wealth
Took it from her former self
Queen of the sky, queen of the plain
She made herself a nest where birds could lay

Hearts would ache and hearts would yearn
Slowly, surely, they would learn
A body with a thousand burns
A juncture with a thousand turns

This land is ours, the signs are clear
And the source you seek is ever near
How you will fail to arrive
If gallows keep you ever tied

This land is ours, the signs are clear
And the source you seek is ever near
How you will fail to arrive
If gallows keep you ever tied
