lyrics

“Fathers: forgive me,
for I have shamed us one and all
in desert heat; on foreign soil
I count misdeeds
against our path of yore.”
Judgement waits there in the home of my
Ancestors…

“River primeval,
bear me eastward to my kin:
they wait for me. I see their shadows
upon the trees
where once they had to toil.”
Their last words exalted the home of their
Ancestors…

Hear the clarion bell:
it tolls for his death.
This man that moved mountains…
to where does his lifeblood drain?

The last shovelful falls
o'er the casket we’ve placed ‘neath the oak,
but where did he leave the absolution
that I sought?

“Forest and woodland,
receive me here as sacrifice:
that I atone, to restore honor.
Drink my blood
with your mouth of parched earth.”
So I gaze back on the home of my
Ancestors…
