Fountain of Youth Lyrics


They came on ships from foreign shores

In search of gold and glory

They came to the land with an iron hand

To claim new territory

Darkness and death is all they left

In the jungle deep within

So the darkness grew on what it knew

On bodies of the fallen men

Going through the darkness

Lost without direction

Gritted teeth in the scorching heat

Spreading foreign subjection

Trudge and try they fall and die

Searching for the truth

But in the end

They cannot mend

Their lust for the fountain of youth

The search for living water

Led many men astray

Trudge and trod

They found it odd

They never found their way

Lives were lost

For that is the cost

Of searching for such a treasure

The fountain of youth

With all its truth

Was lost to the darkness forever

Going through the darkness

Lost without direction

Gritted teeth in the scorching heat

Spreading foreign subjection

Trudge and try they fall and die

Searching for the truth

But in the end

They cannot mend

Their lust for the fountain of youth
