The Lowlands Of Holland Lyrics - Levellers

The life that I have chosen 

And there will be content 

And the salt sea shall be frozen 

Before that I repent 

Repent I shall not ever 

Until the day I die 

For the lowlands of Holland 

Have claimed my destiny 

I look out onto the rolling sea 

But there'll be no easy ride 

It's enough to break your mind and will 

There's many times we've tried 

We cried together but we fought 

We staked all to be free 

For the lowlands of Holland 

Have claimed my destiny 

So you feel the wind in your hair 

As we leave the old country 

With seven score friends, here by our side 

To keep us company 

'Cos there's many more we've left behind 

And some we'll never see 

'Cos the lowlands of Holland 

Have claimed my destiny
