Badwan/Coxon - Promise Land Lyrics

In this land, in this land

In this land, we breathe no more

In this land, on this shore

Past the time for talk


Try it again, prize of war

And all that's done is rewound

Try it again, on this shore

Years still because you're innocent


I want to hear the horses scream

What other work begins

I want to know where will it stop

This want surrounds with torn hills


And slide right out of here

Freedom to die before you understand


And inner one here wanders blindly around

All the spectres with their holy books

Identity wound to our land

As far as inside, this jewel that glimmers wild with no light


Our land waiting, our land waiting

Our land waiting


In this land, on this shore

With these hands we hold no more

I want to hear the horses scream

This prize of war, out here in the promised land


I want to know, when will it stop

When eyes above run into all these things

And into a sea of promises


Our land waiting, our land waiting

Our land waiting, our land waiting

Island waiting, island waiting

Island waiting, outlawed
