Sancta Terra Lyrics


Here we are to free the holy land

Land of eternity in hostility

As our feet tread

The yellow sand once

Gorged in blood of our own kind

The thirst dries up my throat

We all expected a scene of splendour

That would bathe in the glory

Of our creator's light

This can't be serious

Is it what we shed our blood for?

Here we are to free the holy land

Land of eternity in hostility

Only wind and dust

Is this all I'll find here?

This land we've longed for

Is nothing but a wasteland

At the end of the world

A shard in the hearth of man

All victims to be

And enemies of yesterday

Will have made no sense

In the scheme of this game

We walked 'til eternity

For our deeds

There will never be an excuse

The worst case realized

Through fault of our own

Here we are to free the holy land

Land of eternity in hostility

Only wind and dust

Is this all I'll find here?
