Distant Land

Lyrics are at the front and centre of our music. This song is more relevant today than ever and is the opening track of our second studio album 'The Language of Curiosity'.

Distant Land

I’ve been run down in the fields, do you know just how that feels
But I think that there’s a God and that’s the truth
Having laid my son to rest, I don’t know which way is best
But I am sure we’ll find some happiness at least

There is fighting in the street, with the children at our feet
Surely now it’s time we found a better way
We don’t have a place to go but the only thing I know
is it won’t be here but in a distant land

Trying to find a way through
To a certain future
Love is all that matters now, to us
Won’t the world embrace us
With a certain future
Love is all that matters now, to us

Well I know my quest is right and I’ll never see the light
Like the 30,000 souls who’ve gone before me
Got some money in my hand and am goin’ to make a stand
Against a destiny of fear and certain heartbreak

Though we’re trying to count the cost and I know the war is lost
All we have is a sea of human fucking heartbreak
We don’t have a place to go and the only thing I know
As it won’t be here, but in a distant land
