Lyrics
Migration
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Instinctive pull
Call for expansion
Impulse to seek prosperity
Flee consternation
East over shoulder
The lantern telling lies
Expiring slowly
Kerosene dries
Fear washes over
Mud-caked teeth grind
A smirking, wind-burned face cracks frown lines
Chased by the fury of the dust cloud
Spurs dive, hooves fly
Lex sempronia agraria
We migrate to find it
Expansion manifesting
Claiming their destiny
Forge a shining city on the hill
Taming the american west
Thundering cacophony
Bleeding trails off the map
Worn heels of burden iron beat roads through granite
With clay under the nail
Outstretched fingers point the way
When the earth drinks the sky
Age of fortune is nigh
Blighted by sun and choking dust
Rope splinters line wearied hands
The miles separate wood from lashing
As blisters are rubbed to scars
The more the wind blows, the harder they push
Crack the whip ’til the blue meets the blue
Strong spines of equine will paint the way
As the call of virtue is answered with a roar
The famished caravan
An opportunist meal
Lost half my family attempting to preserve their future
Over the next crest
We’ll smell salt in the air
Succulent wasteland becomes deciduous
Green and gold
The fertile soil and sunshine
With God as my witness I claim this as mine
Green and gold
The untouched valley beckons
By the backs of forefathers I claim this as mine
Migrant fighting for his life
Revels in the failing light
Migrant fighting for his life
The wild herd is losing sight
Migrant fighting for his life
Wallows in implicit strife
(Rhetorical tone)
Migrant fighting for his life
Seductive unknown
The mission embellished
Charged from above
The promise of virtue
Contrived imperialist lie
The frontier arrogated
Acquisition the final design
The valor confabulated
Irreproachable pioneers
Lex sempronia agraria
We migrate to find it
Bloodshot eyes stare
A thousand miles past sunset
Horns locked with nature, dueling
A conquest of reciprocation
Expansion manifesting
Claiming their destiny
Migration
