lyrics

Say a prayer for the white grain
for reaping time has come and gone
shed a tear for this raped land
for all the seasons that have gone
I would be the young man who toils
in the fields of the father
in love and for you
break this fallow land
breathe in the soil
crawl through the clay
and lay in the earth

Seventy seasons of toil and labour
under the cruelty of seventy suns
to rest in the ruins of years
years wasted and lost by the sea
Time is a tyrant, time is a tyrant
the chains of our hopes
the length of our days
His fortress is endless
we struggle in vain
Time is a tyrant, time is a tyrant
