Terra Firma

Only Terra Firma Gaining or losing ground The tale, she's not a new one Just take a look back to see where we're bound And she keeps on breathing And we'll soon be leaving here Land sakes disappearing Under man and where he lives But she keeps on giving Till there's nothing left to give And she keeps on breathing And we'll soon be leaving here And the clock wheel turns again Another cycle to begin One more lap around the sun By the light that shines I see In the end we all will be Returned to Terra Firma Gone but not forgotten Eyes wide open for hallowed ground Not like I remember Just pave it all over and nail it down And she keeps on breathing And we'll soon be leaving here Dancing in the graveyard On the bones of the fathers gone before America won and lost With no regards for the cost All taken away from the ones before And she keeps on breathing And we'll soon be leaving here And the clock wheel turns again Another cycle to begin One more lap around the sun By the light that shines I see In the end we all will be Returned to Terra Firma Only Terra Firma Marching mad men gone to war No matter who lived there first Take it back they'll do their worst In the name of God and nothing more And she keeps on breathing And we'll soon be leaving here And the clock wheel turns again Another cycle to begin One more lap around the sun By the light that shines I see In the end we all will be Returned to Terra Firma By the light that shines I see In the end we all will be Returned to Terra Firma
