Alaska

Lyrics by: Andrew Winn 

Appears on: Seed 

Welcome to the world of the northern hemisphere 

Greet the winds of this heavenly frontier 

Water pure as the blood of Mary's son 

Cast your fears to the northern lights above 

Take the time, pull this splinter from your eye 

View her tears as they're falling from the sky 

Virgin child, on the verge of great demise 

From the hands of the ruthless human kind 

Chorus: 

Don't tarnish this silver realm 

Don't rain on her golden dreams 

Don't lie to these open arms 

Then wake up to find she's gone and won't be home again 

Twilight is the time, vibrant colors paint the sky 

Across the mountains, capped with snow and whipped-creamed clouds 

The wind, she sings in a whisper soft and mild 

Coaxed to sleep all the children of the land 

Stand in awe as you're drifting off the shore 

Watching glaciers cast their elders to the sea 

A winter's rain cools the fever from your soul 

Bringing peace to your spirit as it soars 

Our ways have turned the world around 

Split the chain and broke it down 

She's drowning in the dark 

Goodbye to the love of the land that graced our lives 

Come corporations, watch the smoke infect the skies 

Oil, it stains the beaches once alive 

Test your conscience, test your will to pull the line 

So save your sister homeland, you can, you can, yeah you can
