Takers

So they all left
To the other side of the land
Leaving their homes behind
Through the coasts and waterfalls
Towards the promise of new better lands

From the ocean came
A shadow that painted the rising sun
In red
You brought the beginning of the end

I haven’t got the time to explain
I came from a world you would not understand
You say
We came to set the land of the free
Now we need you to be slaves to our dreams

When the dawn came
Our bodies were fading like tears in the rain
Ascending to the sky
Someone begged “please don't leave me behind”

A brave came running into the eye of the storm
His last words were
You cannot kill me
From the mountains we were born out of a dying star
And once more
We’ll be free
