Vainglory - The Promised Land lyrics

rate me

We are told it seems, from our first breath<br />

That one day we'd cross, over the mountains<br />

The land of gods, with the angels too<br />

To spend eternity, in love and harmony<br />

<br />

We work for nothing and the hours are so long<br />

We work for rations and the place we call home<br />

The morning trains carry us to our jobs<br />

Murmurs of slavery within the mobs<br />

<br />

Nothing else matters it is our precious fate<br />

We are promised our own perfect place<br />

On and on the pattern goes, never to end<br />

Until the holy day when life should begin<br />

<br />

The Promised Land, is what we toil for all our life<br />

The Promised Land, is why today is misery<br />

<br />

The Promised Land, is what we toil for all our life<br />

The Promised Land, is why today is misery<br />

<br />

We are told that it is heaven on earth<br />

We are told you shall never need<br />

We are told to do your work well<br />

We are told forever you will see<br />

<br />

The Promised Land, our god given right<br />

The Promised Land, The Promised Land
