Standing at the limit of an endless oceanStranded like a runaway lost at seaCity on a rainy day down in the harborWatching as the gray clouds shadow the bayLooking everywhere 'cause I had to find youThis is not the way that I remember it hereAnyone will tell you it's a prisoner islandHidden in the summer for a million yearsGreat Southern LandBurned you blackSo you look into the land, it will tell you a storyStory about a journey ended long agoListen to the motion of the wind in the mountainsMaybe you can hear them talking like I doThey're gonna betray you, they're gonna forget youAre you gonna let them take you over that way?Great Southern LandGreat Southern LandYou walk aloneLike a primitive manAnd they make it workWith sticks and bonesSee their hungry eyesIt's a hungry homeI hear the soundOf the strangers' voicesI see their hungry eyesTheir hungry eyesGreat Southern LandGreat Southern LandThey burned you blackBlack against the groundStanding at the limit of an endless oceanStranded like a runaway lost at seaCity on a rainy day down in the harborWatching as the gray clouds shadow the bayLooking everywhere, I had to find youThis is not the way that I remember it hereAnyone will tell you it's a prisoner islandHidden in the summer for a million yearsGreat Southern LandIn the sleeping sunYou walk aloneWith the ghost of timeWell, they burned you blackBlack against the groundAnd they make it workWith rocks and sandI hear the soundOf the strangers' voicesI see their hungry eyesTheir hungry eyesGreat Southern LandGreat Southern LandYou walk aloneLike a primitive manYou walk aloneWith the ghost of timeAnd they burned you blackYeah, they burned you blackGreat Southern LandGreat Southern LandGreat Southern LandGreat Southern Land
