The sun greets a new dawn
Cuts through the cloudy morn
The fields that are my home
My love and our newborn
A mist comes from the sea
And brings strange malady
Bare ground and empty stores
The roots as black as soot
Utter hopeless blight...
Those in power thrive while we suffer to stay alive
Blood mixed with rot is all we have to eat for months
No sustenance, my people all starve, slowly they die
What have we done? Who did we wrong?
Why do we deserve such complete contempt?
Many more will die before the end
How can they live with guilt like this?
Now my worst fears come to be, my family, they are gone
Innocence taken from me, and have to work for the privilege
Nothing just, Lost all faith, Country breaks
A source of rage for years to come
Nothing just, Lost all faith, My heart breaks
A source of rage for years to come
Time to leave here and start a new life
Broken men have no options left
And now I stand alone...
The darkness melts away
From ships across the sea
To bury tragedy
Take hold of destiny
And face a brave new world
I can tame my fate, find love again, but never forget
How, once destroyed, I clawed my way back into the light
