A thousand years A thousand lifetimes away I sit alone and I drink to memories outcast Come so far These memories just to escape But in my mind the past is footsteps away
And then the young man said unto me The dark cloud on your brow's plain to see Said you've wandered long from where you once came The place you call home, does it have a name?
A thousand years A thousand lifetimes away I sit alone and I drink to memories outcast Come so far These memories just to escape I drink alone to a place I'd rather forget
This throat is dry and cracked from my silence And my eyes lost focus from watching the past But still I turned to him with this guidance And told him the tale of a bitter outcast
Said
I was told of exalted bloodlines And pasts writing futures on these palms My mother bloomed in the greenest gardens My father the prince among seven sons But I'm so far from my whitefish sisters Who call from the cold and distant streams A fleeting glimpse at a pale horizon A path that I'll walk alone it seems
Three fifths a man I was bred in the dust and sand For I was born in a barren land They said You’re just Three fifths a man I was bred in the dust and sand For I was born in a barren land
He said just think of what's yet to come Now that you're in a place that you choose But how can you think of futures when you're numb? When you face up to your demons and lose?
I grew tired of exalted bloodlines And gouged out the future from these palms My mother burned and my father made me A bastard abandoned on these shores But I still hear my whitefish sisters Who call from the cold and distant seas Closer now to that pale horizon The path that I walk alone supreme
Three fifths a man I was bred in the dust and sand For I was born in a barren land They said You’re just Three fifths a man I was bred in the dust and sand For I was born in a barren land
I'll drink here alone till thy kingdom come And for those who'll listen I have these tidings You should never forget where you're from But it's much harder to live with the truth than hiding
Three fifths a man I was bred in the dust and sand For I was born in a barren land They said You’re just Three fifths a man I was bred in the dust and sand For I was born in a barren land
Years ago All that we know Became the dark shadow that follows us
Cracked from below Dream of the snow Under the omniscient gaze of sun
Seven months old Silver and gold Eroded till the fairness turns to rust
Crawling across Shores of salt Watching all those with us turn to dust
Watching those around us turn to dustTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
