Hardland Lyrics

came back
Home to a hardland
Where a man is judged
By the scars on his face
Where the sliding scale still operates
To come home, I had to go away from those
HARDLAND
I saw a land
Standing at the crossroads
I saw her wrath
Burning in a burned out home
Saw her tears
In rivers running cold
Her tragedy, waiting to explode

In the HARDLAND
Ripped and torn apart
Hard dreams
Leave me scarred
In the lines of my face
A story of faith
In these HARDLAND
I feel afraid
When I think about my children
I feel scared
When I walk down a street at night
Feel sad
When I look on the flag
I feel the anger
Rising in the heart of the

HARDLAND
Ripped and torn apart
Hard dreams
Leave me scarred
In the lines of my face
A story of faith
In these HARDLAND
Wherever I wander across this land
Of my fathers
The valley is ripped and the mountain scarred
Tom apart
A house is ablaze on the hillside
A sign says "This land is not for sale"

HARDLAND
Ripped and tom apart
Hard dreams
Leave me scarred
In the lines of my face
A story of faith
In these HARDLAND
