Their Will (lyrics)
On waves, we had comeThey 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 dayThere was silence
And then came their callsUrged us up and over for King and CountryFor God's sake, don't hesitate boysMake the distance before they see"
Then into their fire, we drove our bodiesThen came the soundsCries of pain emerged from within the clouds
Our feet, they fell apartOur will soon followed, as did our heartsWith head in hands
We traced our pathsOn the remnants of their worn out maps
And prayed for an end
By the time
We had turned aroundThe tides had come
Reclaimed the broken ground
We forgot that we were menAnd where we came fromAnd where we laid our heads
And the wounds we had
We all knew they'd never mendAnd the ones we lost
And the ones we couldn't save
