The Heritors of Arcadia



The Heritors of Arcadia
Vocals: Bonnie Gordon

On an ocean of stars,
Lo, an angel they see,
Untouched by the war that they waged.

Lain low by their scars,
A people wounded, but free.
Seek what lies beyond this dark age.

The seasons they turn, winter to spring,
Dulling the pain and erasing the sting.
The seasons turn, summer to fall,
Time’s warm embrace begins to heal all.

On the wild, at first light,
The jasper lion will run.
Hark, an anthem he drums, can you hear?

The people fresh from the night,
Rise and listen as one.
The land that they were promised is near.

And though I am gone, just ash in the wind,
One life surrendered so yours can begin,
Courage, my children - this is your song.
I am the earth - I will make you strong.

A world riven by pride repaired at last...
And now, its makers can be at rest, our vision come to pass...

The seasons they turn, memory fades,
But when my name has been lost to the grey,
I will sustain you, year after year
I will protect you when dangers appear.

And though I am gone, just ash in the wind,
One life surrendered so yours can begin,
Courage, my children - this is your song.
I am the earth - I will make you strong.
