Dan Mccaferty Albatross Lyrics

Albatross Lyrics

There they were...the islands. Big ones, small ones, beautiful ones

and
wasted ones . . . But wherever they went, wherever they looked,

wherever
they put their feet...only uninhabitable, exploited, devastated

sands. .
. They encountered everything they meant to leave behind. War...

poison... degeneration . . . Love died a long time ago . . .



Blood blood all around

The land is crying out

All men are dead
underneath the sands

And noone understands



Gold gold all is
sold

Ten thousands have been slain

They stole their gold and
destroyed their souls

The prayers were all in vain



War war
behind the shore

All men are on the run

They burned the earth until
there

But a wasteland in the sun

A wasteland in the sun



But there's the albatross

Flying circles through the wind

The
silent master of this land

Far beyond the Southern Cross

Nobody
heard his cries

Wailing sadly through the skies

Now h
