Shores of Tenagra Lyrics


(Solo: K. Losinske)

Darmok ­ Fist in hand;

Jalad ­ take a stand;

Create unity on the Shores of Tanagra

Darmok ­ Fist in hand;

Jalad ­ take a stand;

Create unity on the Shores of Tanagra

Take me away,

to this rugged place

we will learn how to escape

the bounds of reality,

abstractions made real

through verbal construction;

anger and outrage,

failure of function

All stem from what we

don't know about ourselves;

security in the moment,

complacency in the rest;

What is meaning?,

what do these signs signify;

maybe there's another way;

to make a claim, have a say;

Stand with me,

promote equity

Destroy the Beast of the wild

with this alliance

Darmok ­ Fist in hand;

Jalad ­ take a stand;

Create unity on the Shores of Tanagra

Darmok ­ Fist in hand;

Jalad ­ take a stand;

Create unity on the Shores of Tanagra

Let's burn a page in history

The sands on the shore signal

the means to achieve the dream

Join with strange new beings

Together we become stronger

maybe we can last a little longer

To ignore the opportunity

Dooms us to obscurity

Attributing coincidence

to lacking communication

Breeding ground for fear

essence of alienation

Critical failures ravage,

Promise and hope slowly

Until we learn to listen

Put aside indecision

Discover a common wish

Come with me to accomplish this

The past should not command us

Our future built on trust

Difficult to see the common ground

When great troubles abound

Limits to perception

Can lead to fear and deception

(Solo: S. Delorey)

Framing and signify,

Understand or more will die

but for the time being

we must fendoff the screaming

or find the sands

soaked with our blood

we must make a story,

lexicons of victory,

Seek one another out

Explore the land some call home

Set aside your pride,

Boldly we can go

Though salvation is near

Still trapped by fear

of a lurking danger

Avoid the stranger

We can bring paradise

Forgive past crimes

to be carried through all time

I stand with you now my friend

Let our conflict end

We can begin again

(Solo: J. Bedroske)

(Solo: M. Belanger)

The story could go a different way

But In the end we won the day

The key to this plan is

The need to understand

We stood too long as one,

to see it all fall apart,

I know your meaning

I hear it in my heart

End of life a willing price

we honor your sacrifice

With this alliance

we end the pain of silence

We have made our common ground

where understanding is found

New words, new perspective

New time, new directive

We share a common wish

together we accomplished it

The past will not command us

Our future will be built on trust
