I went home to see my children
they had gone away from me
Ransomed by the skies of midnight
to see how far the sparrow flies
to see how far the sparrow flies
They have come from their oppression
the rise of empire fuels their souls
Redemption sought for deeds undone
redemption down the barrel of a gun
redemption down the barrel of a gun
Ooh's
Wolves they cry for moons acceptance
the night betrays their shallow graves
to cross a river, pay your toll
I pray the passage saves your soul
I pray the passage saves your soul
Ooh's
For fourty years ive cried
For fourty years ive been alone
For forty years ive wandered
A vagabond, a bag of bones
For fourty years ive cried
For fourty years ive been alone
For forty years ive wandered
A vagabond, a bag of bones
