Thousand Lands

We've walked a thousand lands

We've seen a thousand sins

We've run to you a thousand times

And we'll run to you a thousand more

The dirt has captured the blood

The air has carried the scent

Bodies scattered across the path

Leaders rise in victory

Nations crumble in defeat

Our ears ring with the sound of the dead

Our hearts cry for those left behind

We've walked a thousand lands

We've seen a thousand sins

We've run to you a thousand times

And we'll run to you a thousand more

What was once done by sword

Is now carried out by gun

No matter how the deed is done

The sin still remains the same

A parent's child becomes someone different

Children are left without a home

Families are left broken

We've walked a thousand lands

We've seen a thousand sins

We've run to you a thousand times

And we'll run to you a thousand more

Cities disappear behind a cloud

People vanish in an instant

Nations are gone from histories sight

It all repeats the same sad song

A story as old as time itself

A plague on this world

It's not going to fix itself

We've walked a thousand lands

We've seen a thousand sins

We've run to you a thousand times

And we'll run to you a thousand more

We've walked a thousand battlefields

We've seen a thousand wars

We've run to war a thousand times

And we'll run to war a thousand more
