Lyrics:
From these shores where we belong
I have seen the land beyond
Where the Lord is strange and strong
I have seen the land beyond
There's no telling who'll be dead
When the pale horse is turning red
And the tongues will burn in vain
And then everything will be the same
There's no patience, there's no peace
I have seen the land beyond
Where the gravestones never cease
I have seen the land beyond
Through the troubles of the years
The heavenly apparition appears
And we're haunted by our minds
And the spirit comes in disguise (with no eyes)
From these shores where we belong
I have seen the land beyond
I'll be there and I'll be gone
I have seen the land beyond
