He left his home three years ago,
Left a father there to die all but alone.
Saw you not as a woman but as a part of it all,
With the earth and the soil as worth far more than your soul.
It was not fair on you,
Elizabeth.
And he will dream,
Dreams you shall not know,
Hold a grief that he cannot show.
With a dance for the blood and the rain.
You married a god without the thought of a choice,
Gave life to a child who will never know your voice,
Loved him enough to leave it all behind,
And entered his land with a strong and hardened mind.
It was not fair on you,
Elizabeth.
And he will dream,
Dreams you shall not know,
hold a grief that he cannot show.
With a dance for the blood and the rain.
But the faith was too strong
And the rains did not come.
'I am the land and the rain' said he,
And you did not stand a chance.
And the mist came down from the edge of the sea
To dance that final dance.
