Their Will (lyrics)
On waves, we had come
They planted us on to these shores
They planted us on to these shores
Now we had never known
Such sights or the places
That we now called home
We were given to this day
There was silence
There was silence
And then came their calls
Urged us up and over for King and Country
For God's sake, don't hesitate boys
Make the distance before they see"
Urged us up and over for King and Country
For God's sake, don't hesitate boys
Make the distance before they see"
Then into their fire, we drove our bodies
Then came the sounds
Cries of pain emerged from within the clouds
Our feet, they fell apart
Our will soon followed, as did our hearts
With head in hands
We traced our paths
On the remnants of their worn out maps
On the remnants of their worn out maps
And prayed for an end
By the time
We had turned around
The tides had come
The tides had come
Reclaimed the broken ground
We forgot that we were men
And where we came from
And where we laid our heads
And where we came from
And where we laid our heads
And the wounds we had
We all knew they'd never mend
And the ones we lost
And the ones we lost
And the ones we couldn't save
