Rea Garvey - Forgiveness lyrics

Forgiveness A traveller of light he came to this earth He had come to warn us of ourselves and whart he had observed Alone, Alone in this universe He had lost all that he had once loved His homeland had been cursed He said " I see in you what my people had been before Our love of power and of might was the cause of our downfall I've come to warn you to prepare you to save you from yourselves" At first we embraced his knowledge and his thoughts on our world He was from a place far from here That bcame the victim of tyranny and war His father like any father planned an escape for his only child He sent him travelling through time Underneath the cover of the darkest night Tell others of our faith Tell others what you have witnessed here Have them learn that tyranny and war only leads to the d**h of us all Be sure to tell them that there is always another way A path we should have followed years ago but now it's too late We listened for some time and he showed us of the power that he could wield How we could raise mountains into the sky and walk across the seas We saw him as our weapon to protect us from our unknown enemies Until we thought it best that he should canfront and demand their admission of defeat He fought for us on lands an on oceans that we had never ever seen before or been before He raise our flag obove the bones of those he had forced to crawl Now it was he and he alone who threatened our new way of life So we stole his last breath as he slept underneath the cover of the darkest night He left a written word like a message painted on our city walls It was the path he had spoken of to us once before It read Forgiveness
