lyrics

A THOUSAND MILES
Lyrics: Matthew Morrese & Music: Alexander James Adams

Our feet have walked a thousand miles
All the while we never knew
Why don’t you stay a while
Everything - we did for you

(Yes our feet have walked a thousand miles
All the while as Aegis turned
Please, won’t ya stay a while
There’s so many who never return)

Cause our feet have walked a thousand miles
ALL THE WHILE THROUGH SHADOW'S FALL
TELL US WHAT WE DID MATTERED
THEN SCATTER THE END TO EVERYTHING WE CALL-
Home ————————————->
[Home is now where the ashes fall]

Across the mountains so high and through valleys below
Over the seas, young and free, evil would take its deadly hold
In the rains of a Shadowed wood, Fate found a way
Good hearts bound us together for the dawn of a BRAND NEW DAY
THE DAWN OF A BRAND NEW DAY

Across the heavenly clouds past the ghosts of the dead
Over the spark lit to sunder the way up the darkened steps
On a precipice grave and old, Shadow raised its hand
Mighty and iron cold, but our fellowship TOOK A STAND
OUR FELLOWSHIP TOOK A STAND

Across the Spine of the World to Ilsur’aeon
Over the Stretch we fought to plunder the way up to the sun
In the fires of Dun’raeor under the Shade of the Evar’num
Our journey will burn as history IN THE EVAR’TUM
BENEATH THE EVAR’TUM!

By winter’s morn / We saw the sun
Reflections of the perfect dawn
OUR EYES FALL LAST ON THE FALLEN

By summer’s eve / We saw the moon
The fair face of the fairest June
OUR ARMS EMBRACE AND HEARTEN

By autumn leaves / We changed so fast
And all the grief we learned could last
THOUGH THE END TO ANY END WE’LL SAY THEN

The first day of spring / A new daydream
Where you’re goings far from where you’ve been
AND THE ROAD GOES EVER ON AGAIN

By winter’s morn
(By summer’s eve)
By autumn leaves to the first day of spring
BY TYDING’S MOURN

There is nothing we can’t do
[There is nothing we won’t say]
There is nothing we can’t do
[There is nothing we won’t say]
There is nothing we can’t do
[There is nothing we won’t say]
There is nothing we can’t do
[There is nothing we won’t say]

(Tell us the story
We’ve all seen the glory
But, we can’t remember to forget
Tell us your fairy tale
At the bottom of another round of ale
And we’ll tell you where you are wrong cause we can never forget)

Cause we walked over a thousand miles
All the while learning love and loss
You need not stay a while
Every minute still has its cost
If you seek to walk a thousand miles
ALL THE WHILE YOU’LL FIGHT AND FIND
Every minute will be worthwhile
ONE ADVENTURE CAN CHANGE YOUR -
Life ——————————————————————————>
[There is nothing you can’t do / There is nothing you won’t say ]
