about

Another home recorded track. I have played all the instruments by myself and had the help of my sister with the vocals.

lyrics

I've come from a land of chaos and sin
looking for the land of the saints and the kings
and they asked me of my patience and time
but I could not spare them as much as a dime
fumbling in the pockets of a man who is blind
they'll save my heart for another time

and I've been walking with that marching band
where the water runs deep where we once roamed the land
but you won't see me fall or struggle to stand
just to be touched by your rugged hand
I would cast what I owe and crawl through the sand
oh I'm tall and proud with that marching band

and on these cities dirty streets
where the queen dared not set her feet
there my broken body creeps
by the house where only a wise man would sleep
and the angels above do they know how it stings
cause I can't seem to here just what they have to sing

I've come from a land of chaos and sin
looking for the land of the saints and the kings
now these towns and stations all seem the same to me
their memories of the things that brought me to my knees
where my fathers would walk until their feet would bleed
oh I'm looking for the land of the plow and the seed
