Song by beetlebug Lyrics: It all started on a day like any other All the salmon had swum to the sea When my lover she darted away down the stream With the heart that she'd taken from me And my chest, though it ached, there was hope A little beacon of light Though my sunniest days are now stolen away I still had our son by my side And as he looked up at me with those wondering eyes I just knew that I must protect him with my life And make a land that is good and a land that is free For the better of you and of me We'll build these walls with our own fair hands Through the wind and the rain and the snow And I swear on my life that I'll stay by your side Through whatever the world has to throw So I summoned my men to my side And we sung a familiar tune As a final goodbye with our fists to the sky To our past as we started anew We built these walls with our own fair hands Through the wind and the rain and the snow And we swore that we'd keep an unwavering faith To the land that we'd carved for a home Oh the thought of the day set our country aflame As the sun rose bloody and true Arrows burned through the skies as we swallowed our cry And we ran with our backs to the moon To our demise From a friend full of lies Oh the break of the day shed its light On our hearts left battered and bruised All the hopes that we'd laid on the home that we'd made Torn to pieces and left in the blue But my friend with an angry cry Held the weight of our world at his side Took a trembling stand with an arrow in hand As he muttered a final goodbye
