The Great Highway

We made tracks for the Great Highway

In the night the storm had calmed

Obscurely, they just stood by

Not a trace was left there now

No single sign to show they'd ever been

Disappeared like a breath of wind

Wrung my hands in a silent cry

You held my head, I couldn't speak

In that place called the Great Highway

Light above us the earth beneath

Sister

I'm fainting in the storm

Hold me fast

While the horseman pass

Sister, I feel their burning hearts

Carry me away

Took them down to the Great Highway

In a night that was raging fast

Questioned, as others lied

Destined to be the last

Their thoughts scattered to the wind

The blood of a thousand tribes

We had promised to be steadfast

To the things that they believed in

In that place called the Great Highway

Not a word we could ever say

Solitude

Of the lonely hunter

On the Great Highway

In the light

Voices of the silenced

On the Great Highway
