Lyrics

[00:01.08] 200 Days
[00:06.79] From the "Caribou Commons" CD
[00:07.85] (c)(p) Matthew Lien / Whispering Willows Music 1999
[00:23.19] I..... I've seen the writing on the wall
[00:28.90] Seen the mighty bastions fall
[00:33.41] And with them fall a thousand tears
[00:37.36] A hundred thousand years
[00:42.00] They have walked across the land
[00:45.73] Living with us hand in hand
[00:50.19] The Spirit lives inside of you
[00:54.37] The Caribou
[00:57.05] Would you ury it all
[01:00.36] Would you throw it away
[01:04.57] Would you give up your life
[01:09.06] For two hundred days
[01:12.94] Would you take from the land
[01:17.11] What you could never repay
[01:21.46] Leaving all this behin
[01:26.08] For two hundred days
[01:45.23] Oh, how the winds of time hae worn
[01:51.10] With the breath of newly born
[01:55.52] A great expanse of timelesseness
[01:59.31] So ominous
[02:01.59] And now, seeking wealth from underground
[02:07.86] Do we sell it by the pound
[02:12.27] We're standing on the precipice
[02:15.31] of emptiness
[02:18.52] Would you ury it all
[02:22.54] Would you throw it away
[02:26.69] Would you give up your life
[02:31.17] For two hundred days
[02:35.15] Would you take from the land
[02:39.27] What you could never repay
[02:43.53] Leaving all this behin
[02:48.13] For two hundred days
[02:55.64] Strong as the raging sea
[03:00.23] Valdez is haunting me
[03:04.11] Black is the blood upon the sand
[03:12.67] Waging a bloody war
[03:16.76] What are we fighting for
[03:20.87] Black is the blood upon our hands
[04:10.26] Now, as the treasures start to rust
[04:16.22] Turn to ashes and to dust
[04:20.68] The castlery contrived in haste is laid to waste
[04:27.72] And now, in the light of what remains
[04:33.13] Will we do it all again
[04:37.45] A destiny to manifest
[04:41.40] Must lay to rest
[04:43.84] Would you ury it all
[04:47.73] Would you throw it away
[04:52.02] Would you give up your life
[04:56.44] For two hundred days
[05:00.36] Would you take from the land
[05:04.48] What you could never repay
[05:08.78] Leaving all this behin
[05:13.42] For two hundred days
[00:00.009]
[99:00.000]
