Runrig Protect and Survive Lyrics:
The red hot sun burns up the hill
The winter's bride, the summer's king
I tramp these acres and I feel
Once upon a time
Then it seemed that everything
You saw and touched and felt was real
You turned the tap and you turned the wheel
Breathing free
Now you search the open evening sky
Trace the memory in your eyes
For the prophet's hard rain and the deluge
Lie in tears around your door
Once there were trees and livestock here
A mother's love, the warnings clear
But you chose to turn away from fear

Breathing free
Now there's a faceless
cross on a distant hill
A wasted voice, a silent scream
Where the lovers love and
the dreamers dream
You stand and dream alone
You took your sacrifice to the gods of war
Traded your children's lives
for a mess of gold
And you beat your ploughshares into swords
Breathing free
Once in a lifetime
You live and love
Once in a lifetime
You die
Once in a lifetime
The sun goes down
Protect and survive
Lyrics: Protect and Survive, Runrig [end]
