Saints Of The Soil |
Walking out on the revelation trail |
Going nowhere slowly |
In the face of a terminal wind |
I look over my shoulder to glory |
For all that around me is lost and changed |
The moon and the stars and the feelings remain |
As long as I draw emotion in breath |
I will never forget, I’ll never forget |
The light of the world keeps shining |
Bright in the primal glow |
Bridging the living dust to dust |
Such a long long way to go |
Going down to the memory well |
No romance, no warning |
Breaking the land with the saints of your soil |
In the light of all constant dawning |
I’m held in the grasp of the blessed and the old |
The hand that civilization’s forgotten to hold |
Rushing onwards racing in chains |
I’m chasing the days, chasing the days |
The light of the world keeps shining |
Bright in the primal glow |
Bridging the living dust to dust |
Such a long long way to go |
Saints of the soil, saints of the soil, saints of the soil |
I see you laughing round the fires of harvest |
Flame grabbing and your arms entwined |
Dying tribe take a righteous glance |
To the sharing days and the common wine |
The light of the world keeps shining |
Bright in the primal glow |
Bridging the living dust to dust |
Such a long long way to go |
There’s a shrine on an Assynt hillside |
It’s made of earth and salt and rain |
Now you walk out in the morning |
With your sacrifice of change |
Saints of the soil |
Saints of the soil |
Saints of the soil |
Saints of the soil |
Saints of the soil |
Saints of the soil |
