  • When the first among the ground were laid
    I wouldn't fall under the man's curse
    Onward forth into a land unknown
    Swords were drawn upon the road

    Provider, carry on
    Far from the golden age
    Follow me down a fox hole in the ground
    Don't delay

    Come morning, miles along
    Gathered round, those remained
    With bird in hand and I cried for the land
    Joy to gain

    Winter came and I was old and alone
    Time say it's gone under the man's curse
    Onward forth onto a land unknown
    With only hope of the sea's ago

    Provider, carry on
    Far from the golden age
    Follow me down a fox hole in the ground
    Don't delay

    Provider, carry on
    Far from the golden age
    Follow me down a fox hole in the ground
    Don't delay

    Come morning, miles along
    Gathered round, those remained
    With bird in hand and I cried for the land
    Joy to gain Writer/s: ERIC NICHELSON, ERIC PULIDO, JESSE CHANDLER, JOSEPH MCCLELLAN, MCKENZIE SMITH, PAUL ALEXANDER
