Lyrics Exile - Saracen

Exile

When their journy began it was so close to dawn
Moonlight was still in the skies
So nobody knew and no-one could see
The sorrow yet love in their eyes
Maybe they hoped or maybe they prayed
That someday their people would learn
The truth of their lives and escape to the west
From where they could never return
In the heat of the day and the cold of the night
No-one was counting the cost
Of so many roads and so many miles
And so many wounds from the cross
Two lonely souls on a journey for life
Living their dream to be free
Did guidance divine lead them to where
The mountains reach down to the sea?
In those days when our nations were young
No-one could surely have known
How the lives of two people in love
Could be shrouded in tears for two thousand years
And all for a place to call home
They had to be strong in so many ways
Dividing the truth from the lies
To some they were strangers journeying west
But some saw the light in their eyes
Icons appeared at the places they stayed
Statues of of mother and child
Love had shone through in a world full of hate
When a young face of innocence smiled …
In those days when our nations were young
No-one could surely have known
How the lives of two people in love
Could be shrouded in tears for two thousand years
And all for a place to call home
In those days when our nations were young
No-one could surely have known
How the lives of two people in love
Could be shrouded in tears for two thousand years
And all for a place to call home
And all for a place to call home
