ryetek - From the Land We Once Came Lyrics

In the misty hills of Scotland where the heather used to grow
My ancestors found their freedom in winds that used to blow
But the tides of time have shifted and the roots began to fade
Now I'm standing in the shadows of the choices that they made
From the land we came where the stories still remain
In the echoes of the valleys and the rolling fields of grain
Though the oceans crossed between us the bloodline's still the same
I'm searching for the pieces of the land we came
My mother told the tales once by the firelight's warm glow
Of a rugged kind of people who thrived in rain and snow
But with every passing season those voices dim and go
And I'm left here with the silence of a past I'll never know
From the land we came where the stories still remain
In the echoes of the valleys and the rolling fields of grain
Though the oceans crossed between us the bloodline's still the same
I'm searching for the pieces of the land we came
Is it in the tartan patterns or the songs we used to sing?
In the ancient Highland whispers carried softly on the spring?
Can I hold on to the spirit though the miles stretch so wide?
Can the land that shaped my story still be found inside?
From the land we came where the stories still remain
In the echoes of the valleys and the rolling fields of grain
Though the oceans crossed between us the bloodline's still the same
I'm searching for the pieces of the land we came
So I'll walk this path with honor though the distance feels untamed
And carry on the memory of the land we came
