Over The Sea Lyrics

Over The Sea lyrics

We sailed from southern England to the coast of Palestine



I stepped upon the shore and gazed back across the brine



For my own impress I ventured to explore the Holy Land



With little more than my faith I turned and made my way across the sand







Making my way inland to the sites I have heard bespoiled



I seek echoes of the past, things deep within the soil



All my life, all my days, taken with the need to raise the dead







I journeyed through the heat to the mountain of Nebo



To survey all that lay in the Jordan valley below



And there laid out like a blanket was the land that Moses saw



The promise of Sinai fulfilled to those that went before







Making my way inland to the sites I have heard bespoiled



All my time, all my faith, stands upon the need to raise the ...



All my life, all my days, taken with the need to raise the dead







Away from the darkness, over the sea,



My greatest fear is that this darkness has followed me







The doubts which had inspired my quest



I'm certain were stalking me in this place



And were even now determined to steal my very soul







All my time, all my faith, stands upon the need to raise the



All my life, all my days, taken with the need to raise the dead







Out of the darkness, into the daylight



I find in my way that life is worth living
