The promise land is near

by Shalkan   Dec 14, 2007


Sail on, brave souls, though you know not the way
March on, brave souls, the miseries here to stay
struggle on, comrade mine, through coursing tears of pain
fight on, poor merchant, through the crimson rain

dont stop, dead man, or winter's gate will lock
dont rest, dead man, you race against the clock
dont close, troubled soul, your barely seeing eyes
keep on, anguished artist, may silence stop your cries

have faith, starving child, the promise land is near
kill the urge, starving child, to indulge your every fear
break free, my friend, deaths clutch is taking hold
don't fall, dear boy, into temptations old

curse death, sickly mother, for it will soon draw nigh
break cycle, sickly mother, from breath abolish sigh
defy law, rejected orphan, your wounds run free of salt
break bones, piteous pauper, rejecting Satan's cult

praise God, brave souls, for he hath smiled on you
join hands, anguished artist, the broken lord you slew
cease sorrow, starving child, the fruits of labors past
embrace tomorrow, rejected orphan, glorys here to last.
