We cry out to you
Tell you of our distress
We are exiled from our home
Work the land is all we know
No longer can we see
Your eternal treasury
Gemeinschaft community
Satan would not let us be
He chased us away
Granted no clemency
"Stand off from this heresy"
"This has led you astray"
We refute his lies
At the cost of our lives
You will bring us to our land
For those at your right hand

We’re settled nomads
Fidget in place
Persecuted by both sides
But we’ve found our space
We’ve been able to put down roots in a soil not our own
We’ve fed our families, worked our hands down to the bone
We do not fight, we turn our cheeks as best we can
Please leave us alone and we will work your land
The spirit of Münster
Long left behind
The terrors beyond us
We are not entwined
We’ve spent so long in place and yet we are apart
For centuries our culture unchanged from the start
We hold our faith close in the face of enemies
Non-violence is the path to everlasting peace.
The world outside means us harm
But here we can work our farms
Rage and lust surround our fields
Lord God to you…. We kneel

Plagues, pestilence,
war, anarchy
Fall upon
Memrik Colony
We are no match for them
Mahko’s anarchism
Abandoned by civil war
Alive by anothers whim
They call us kulak
The monsters who don’t attack
Survivors are exiled
I fear there’s no going back
Either choice is death
No one escapes unscathed
We all must choose our sins
Then live with the price we'll pay
We must hold faith
God still sees us too
While our brothers fight or flee
Is there a light shining through?

Ash fills the midnight sky
Say a prayer for those who’ve died
Bandits approached my door
They lie cold on the floor
Please come, We must flee
There's no future for me
No blood across the door
No sign we won't hurt more
Why?

We traveled our ancestor's path
Across the roads and oceans wrath
Arrived in port, complete in shock
No torches here, so in we flock
On this forest continent
We wander with one intent
Build houses, build families
Build gardens and seek the peace
The ink is dry, we're safe at last
This massive place, choices are vast
I could live inside this sprawl
But I see your face, need to withdraw
49 by 83, that is good enough for me

Reesor's Lament

Exhausted, empty stores
Isolated & nothing more
Restarted so far behind
The father doesn't seem to mind
We lost our home, I lost my love
Condemning silence from above
The children cry their mothers name
The rage inside stokes the flame
Seventy acres, six tons of hay
Nine animals to light the way
The thorns have choked the life from me
Consider me your wasted seed
We lost our home I lost my love
Condemning silence from above
The children cry their mothers name
The smell of death stokes the flame

The rolling hills are calling
It feels like home
Like I'm coming home
It feels like home
I am coming home
