07 Ancient Migration

01 Sea Exodus   02 Island Paradise

01 Sea Exodus

Behold the bright star in the southern sky

Beckoning us all to pack up and go

For soon we shall hear a strange battle cry

From those invaders, our hated foes

They will enslave us, that much we should know

Forcing us to work without fair payment

Until we all fall and could cry no more

Too broken to voice our discontent

Surely this is not the life we intend                                                            

To be in bondage like tamed animals                                         

In anguish hearing our own laments                                          Ancient Migration         

   For freedom long gone that none may recall                                   Soneta 019

Prepare hence the boats and take to the sea                                 Spenseria

Let us go away that we may be free                                                     AD 2002

02 Island Paradise

Good sons of the waves, daughters of the sea

Having braved the storms, let us keep sailing

For at journey’s end quite soon we shall see

Another homeland warmly welcoming

There we shall reclaim the joy of living

By building our lives that have been ruined

There shall we restore the art of loving

By re-living dreams which have been shattered

                                          This new home would be like a world promised

                                             By the Ancient One of the ancient days

Ancient Migration              A seed from heaven here on earth planted              

Soneta 020                            To empower life in its myriad ways               

Spenseria                                To the blessed isle now we direct our course!

(D4/03/04/2002)                         Towards Paradise, go without remorse!
