Paramaecium - Over The Sea Lyrics
We sailed from southern England to the coast of PalestineI stepped upon the shore and gazed back across the brineFor my own impress I ventured to explore the Holy LandWith little more than my faith I turned and made my way across the sandMaking my way inland to the sites I have heard bespoiledI seek echoes of the past, things deep within the soilAll my life, all my days, taken with the need to raise the deadI journeyed through the heat to the mountain of NeboTo survey all that lay in the Jordan valley belowAnd there laid out like a blanket was the land that Moses sawThe promise of Sinai fulfilled to those that went beforeMaking my way inland to the sites I have heard bespoiledAll my time, all my faith, stands upon the need to raise the ...All my life, all my days, taken with the need to raise the deadAway from the darkness, over the sea,My greatest fear is that this darkness has followed meThe doubts which had inspired my questI'm certain were stalking me in this placeAnd were even now determined to steal my very soulAll my time, all my faith, stands upon the need to raise theAll my life, all my days, taken with the need to raise the deadOut of the darkness, into the daylightI find in my way that life is worth living
