Alaska

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
