Lyrics
When the first among the ground were laid
Reflecting on the beginning when the first foundations were laid.
I wouldn't fall under the man's curse
Expressing a determination not to succumb to the difficulties imposed by society.
Onward forth into a land unknown
Moving forward into an unfamiliar territory.
Swords were drawn upon the road
Describing a journey where conflicts and challenges arise, symbolized by drawn swords.
Provider, carry on
Calling on a provider figure to persist and continue despite challenges.
Far from the golden age
Acknowledging a departure from a prosperous or ideal era.
Follow me down a fox hole in the ground
Inviting others to join in exploring a hidden or secretive path.
Don't delay
Emphasizing the importance of not procrastinating or hesitating.
Come morning, miles along
Transitioning to a new day, covering miles of distance.
Gathered round, those remained
Being surrounded by those who have endured, possibly implying resilience.
With bird in hand and I cried for the land
Holding a bird symbolically while expressing emotional distress for the land.
Joy to gain
Finding joy or satisfaction despite hardships.
Winter came and I was old and alone
Reflecting on aging and being isolated in winter.
Time say it's gone under the man's curse
Acknowledging the passage of time and its impact under societal challenges.
Onward forth onto a land unknown
Continuing forward into the unknown despite adversities.
With only hope of the sea's ago
Relying only on hope as a source of guidance.
Provider, carry on
Reiterating the call for a provider figure to persist.
Far from the golden age
Reaffirming the departure from a more prosperous era.
Follow me down a fox hole in the ground
Encouraging others to follow into a concealed path.
Don't delay
Stressing the urgency of not delaying the journey.
Provider, carry on
Repeating the call for a provider to persist and carry on.
Far from the golden age
Emphasizing the distance from a more ideal age.
Follow me down a fox hole in the ground
Reiterating the invitation to follow a concealed path.
Don't delay
Repeating the urgency of not delaying the journey.
Come morning, miles along
Beginning a new day and covering additional miles.
Gathered round, those remained
Being in the company of those who have endured and remained.
With bird in hand and I cried for the land
Expressing emotional distress for the land, similar to the earlier mention.
Joy to gain
Finding joy or satisfaction in gaining something valuable.
