Their Will by Elliott Brood by Elliott Brood Lyrics

On waves, we had come
They planted us on to these shores now
We'd never known, or set sights on
The places that we now called home
We were given to this day
There was silence
And the came the calls
They said "up and over for King and Country
For God's sake, don't hesitate boys
Make the distance before they see"
Then into their fire, we drove them out
And then came the sounds
Cries of pain emerged from within the ground
Our feet, they fell apart
Our wills soon followed, as did our hearts
With head in hands we traced our paths
Over remnants of the worn out maps
And prayed for an end
By the time we had turned around
The tides had come, reclaimed the broken down
We forgot that we were men
And where we came from
And where we laid our heads
And the wounds we had
We all knew they'd never mend
And the ones we lost were the ones we couldn't save
