Only Terra Firma
Gaining or losing ground
The tale, she's not a new one
Just take a look back to see where we're bound
And she keeps on breathing
And we'll soon be leaving here
Land sakes disappearing
Under man and where he lives
But she keeps on giving
Till there's nothing left to give
And she keeps on breathing
And we'll soon be leaving here
And the clock wheel turns again
Another cycle to begin
One more lap around the sun
By the light that shines I see
In the end we all will be
Returned to Terra Firma
Gone but not forgotten
Eyes wide open for hallowed ground
Not like I remember
Just pave it all over and nail it down
And she keeps on breathing
And we'll soon be leaving here
Dancing in the graveyard
On the bones of the fathers gone before
America won and lost
With no regards for the cost
All taken away from the ones before
And she keeps on breathing
And we'll soon be leaving here
And the clock wheel turns again
Another cycle to begin
One more lap around the sun
By the light that shines I see
In the end we all will be
Returned to Terra Firma
Only Terra Firma
Marching mad men gone to war
No matter who lived there first
Take it back they'll do their worst
In the name of God and nothing more
And she keeps on breathing
And we'll soon be leaving here
And the clock wheel turns again
Another cycle to begin
One more lap around the sun
By the light that shines I see
In the end we all will be
Returned to Terra Firma
By the light that shines I see
In the end we all will be
Returned to Terra Firma
