Letters Home

I scarcely remember the glorious City
Woven on the sand
Crimson houses, wild caves
Shadows sneakily passing by

I remember the trees
Rooted high up in the endless mountains
Elders, children, like alien creatures
Were dancing on the hillside
They were dancing on the hillside

Star-studded sky, take me home
To the flaming, the bloody, red mountains
Star-studded sky, take me home
To the flaming, the bloody, red mountains
Star-studded sky, take me home
To the flaming, the bloody, red mountains
Star-studded sky, take me home
To the flaming, the bloody, red mountains

Oh, sacred earth
Does it rain there?
Or did you dry out with time?
Oh, dark cloud
Do you see that big rock,
You used to wash without end?
Oh, sacred earth
Does it rain there?
Or did you dry out with time?

We are the pieces of what we remember
We hold in ourselves the hopes and fears of those who love us
As long as there's love and memory, there's no true loss

I want to run up the mountains
Leave red footprints
I want to run up the mountains
Leave red footprints
I want to run up the mountains
Leave red footprints
