Slow Waters & Grey Skies Lyrics

It's been slow, slow going
Out on this path we've chosen
And still I'm looking for some peice of mind

Sun sets on the new horizon
Winds change and the fire's still burning
While words of dismissal
Still linger on the tongues from the folks back home

And the seasons come and go

Count the days passing by
Watch the time slip away
Then you'll know how I feel
On these cold, bitter days

We've been waiting so long
And biding our time
As the winter draws on
Playing tricks on my mind

As we dwell in the shadows
And shut out the day
With each passing hour
Turning ever-grey

Hell bent and heaven sent
Crossed out
We are surviving
Long nights and northern lights
Trashed out
We are surviving
In the heart of winter
Cloaked in bitterness

Setbacks and cold facts
Shut in
We are surviving
Old ways and restless days
Honed in
We are surviving
In the heart of winter
Bold determination

In the land of grey skies
You draw a hard line

Along the frozen lakes we roam
Within a reverie we mourn
In the season of endless night
We think of the toils
And how it came to be that we
Should live as those
Who stray from the roots that seek to bind
Before the dawn of madness claimed
The sense of purity that we found
Within the land that we call home
We ask what is left, but to roam

Berated and mocked
And driven away
Over trying to convince
A sheltered mind to our cause
Here we will strike out on our own
And never have to compromise
Who we are and wish to be
It would never have survived
Had we minded the voices from back home
