Elliott BROOD - Their Will by Elliott Brood lyrics

On waves, we had come They planted us on to these shores now We'd never known, or set sights on The places that we now called home We were given to this day There was silence And the came the calls They said "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 them out And then came the sounds Cries of pain emerged from within the ground Our feet, they fell apart Our wills soon followed, as did our hearts With head in hands we traced our paths Over remnants of the worn out maps And prayed for an end By the time we had turned around The tides had come, reclaimed the broken down We forgot that we were men 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 were the ones we couldn't save --- .
