SHADOWLAND SHADOWLAND We came from the north and we came from the highlands. We lived for our brothers and honoured our gods. Travelled the world – now home is an island. Fianna our family and blood is our bond. - - - - - - chorus Here in the land of shadows, here in this Shadowland Here in the land of shadows, here in the Shadowlands. - - - - - - The home that we knew is home now no longer. Its blasted and bleached by the long winter sun. The days here are broken – the light turns to darkness. This island is not where we used to belong. - - - - - - (chorus) - - - - - - The sun will cast light on un-fam-iliar mountains. Our shadows will fall upon earth that is new. New Orkneyjar waits – we will breath life upon it, And walk upon land that the Gods alone knew. - - - - - - (chorus) - - - - - - So what is a home? Is it water and soil? Can land or possessions bring meaning or faith? Our home it will always be where we are gathered, Our Home is Fianna – no matter the place. (Chorus x2 to end.) |
