Fields of fallow and the wells were dry
Mother sorrow
begged an unforgiving sky
But every day another
year dragged by
Till it seemed that even God had turned his back
And just like Mother Earth we soon would crack
But we endued
Though the road only got longer we endued
And it seemed to make us stronger
Even when the wolves were howling at the dawn
We endured
Mother sorrow gave way to winter chill
Fever stalked the land until it drank its fill
Of children sweet as mother's milk
Every night another angel
earned its wings
Till it seemed we would not
live to taste the spring
We
endured Though the road only got longer we endured
And it seemed to make us stronger Even when the
wolves were howling at the dawn
We endured
Our hearts are fragile
and our bodies soon unwind
We've barely learned to live when we begin to die
So if your children ask me why we're even born I say we
are but the tailwind of a storm
Our thunder echoes loudest when we're gone
We
endured Though the road only got longer we endured
And it seemed to make us stronger Even
when the wolves were howling at the dawn
We
endured Though the road only got longer we endured
And it seemed to make us stronger Even
when the wolves were howling at the dawn
