Uncut Pages - Pemetic Lyrics

From the towers of learning to the barren mountains
Across the ocean - came the Sunshine
Studying and singing, camping and listing
They fell in love there, sealed the land's fate
Lafayette, preservation

Beside the sea your sloping lands live on
You take our breath as we stand upon your shores
Upon your shores

October's peace is shattered by warnings
Smoke from the swamp land - a burning underground
Three days later, the fire awakens
A week of destruction, devouring all it finds
Nothing stands against its razing

Beside the sea your sloping lands live on
You take our breath as we stand upon your shores
Upon your shores

Summer brings invasion, troops beyond number
Streaming over year after year

Beside the sea your sloping lands live on
You take our breath as we stand upon your shores

And we come also, drawn by your riches
Climb to the summit - touch the sun's first rays
Rising up over mist and islands

Beside the sea your sloping lands live on
You take our breath as we stand upon your shores
Beside the sea your sloping lands live on
You take our breath as we stand upon your shores
Upon your shores
