Thriven

I sit here all alone, watch the sun go down, leaving fiery ranges

My soul is set aflame, the daily fight is on, still pain ain't gone

A thriving land is what I see

No virgin wilderness could be

A home to us, some fertile ground is all we're asking for

We give our pain, twice our blood

One with the soil, one with the gods

Strongest faith is needed here, so fail the weak

Work to live. Another tear, another bleeding

Every day another price to pay. I pay and bleed

Therefore I consider leaving. But this land forces me to stay

Creating

The land has changed, the tribe has too

It's new gained wealth means loss of faith

That formed life, that was a guide to generations

Although the mountains still stand strong

The threat is here, it's been too long

We haven't thought this land could wither, could wither slowly

Work to live. Another tear, another bleeding

Every day another price to pay. I pay and bleed

Therefore I consider leaving. But this land forces me to stay

Creating

Creating thriven land

Nothing will be the same, can we rebuild this land again

Creating thriven land

Shining like a star, shining bright so far…

Work to live.

Another tear, another bleeding Every day another price to pay.

I pay and bleed. Therefore I consider leaving.

But this land forces me to stay. Infinite greed

Another heart, a different beating. That left the anguish of the past behind

Beloved lands. Now upon them vultures feeding

Not even one worth to be elder's heir

Creating
