Agents Of Good Roots - ALASKA lyrics

Alaska

Music by: Andrew Winn

Lyrics by: Andrew Winn

Appears on: Seed

Welcome to the world of the northern hemisphere

Greet the winds of this heavenly frontier

Water pure as the blood of Mary's son

Cast your fears to the northern lights above

Take the time, pull this splinter from your eye

View her tears as they're falling from the sky

Virgin child, on the verge of great demise

From the hands of the ruthless human kind

Chorus:

Don't tarnish this silver realm

Don't rain on her golden dreams

Don't lie to these open arms

Then wake up to find she's gone and won't be home again

Twilight is the time, vibrant colors paint the sky

Across the mountains, capped with snow and whipped-creamed clouds

The wind, she sings in a whisper soft and mild

Coaxed to sleep all the children of the land

Stand in awe as you're drifting off the shore

Watching glaciers cast their elders to the sea

A winter's rain cools the fever from your soul

Bringing peace to your spirit as it soars

Our ways have turned the world around

Split the chain and broke it down

She's drowning in the dark

Goodbye to the love of the land that graced our lives

Come corporations, watch the smoke infect the skies

Oil, it stains the beaches once alive

Test your conscience, test your will to pull the line

So save your sister homeland, you can, you can, yeah you can
