Protect And Survive Lyrics - Runrig

The red hot sun burns up the hill 

The winter's bride, the summer's king 

I tramp these acres and I feel 

Once upon a time 

Then it seemed that everything 

You saw and touched and felt was real 

You turned the tap and you turned the wheel 

Breathing free

Now you search the open evening sky 

Trace the memory in your eyes 

For the prophet's hard rain and the deluge 

Lie in tears around your door 

Once there were trees and livestock here 

A mother's love, the warnings clear 

But you chose to turn away from fear 

Breathing free 

Now there's a faceless cross on a distant hill 

A wasted voice, a silent scream 

Where the lovers love and the dreamers dream 

You stand and dream alone 

You took your sacrifice to the gods of war 

Traded your children's lives for a mess of gold 

And you beat your ploughshares into swords 

Breathing free

Once in a lifetime 

You live and love 

Once in a lifetime 

You die 

Once in a lifetime 

The sun goes down 

Protect and survive
