Alaska   Music by: Andrew Winn   Lyrics by: Andrew Winn   Appears on: Seed      Welcome to the world of the northern hemisphere    Greet the winds of this heavenly frontier    Water pure as the blood of Mary's son    Cast your fears to the northern lights above    Take the time, pull this splinter from your eye    View her tears as they're falling from the sky   Virgin child, on the verge of great demise    From the hands of the ruthless human kind       Chorus:    Don't tarnish this silver realm   Don't rain on her golden dreams    Don't lie to these open arms    Then wake up to find she's gone and won't be home again       Twilight is the time, vibrant colors paint the sky    Across the mountains, capped with snow and whipped-creamed clouds    The wind, she sings in a whisper soft and mild   Coaxed to sleep all the children of the land    Stand in awe as you're drifting off the shore    Watching glaciers cast their elders to the sea    A winter's rain cools the fever from your soul    Bringing peace to your spirit as it soars      Our ways have turned the world around   Split the chain and broke it down   She's drowning in the dark      Goodbye to the love of the land that graced our lives    Come corporations, watch the smoke infect the skies   Oil, it stains the beaches once alive    Test your conscience, test your will to pull the line      So save your sister homeland, you can, you can, yeah you can
