Eilif - People of the Country Lyrics

Once upon a place lived a perfect garden
Where plants and animals soaked in the sun
And bathed in the river
Man was but a concept
And nature but a gift
And everything lived and breathed together
In a harmonious synchrony
Mother Earth knew the garden couldn't last
As time is the destroyer of all things and so
When man came around, a select few were dubbed:
"The People of the Country" designed to protect and care
For her and the remnants of the garden
Well, Man is knowledge
And knowledge is greed
And the People of the Country were there to stop themselves
And to savor the beauty of the world
We're the People of the Country
We're the People of the Country
And the People of the Country don't forget
We're the People of the Country
We're the People of the Country
And the People of the Country don't forget
As man grew, the People of the Country were unable
To stop them from being cruel to the Earth
In a betrayed vain, Mother Earth sent terrible
Winters and storms to punish her children's selfishness
The garden is now eternally lost
And but one Person of the Country remains
As time is the destroyer of all things
And they sing:
We're the People of the Country
We're the People of the Country
And the People of the Country don't forget
We're the People of the Country
We're the People of the Country
And the People of the Country don't forget
Mother Earth is still fighting the greed of humanity
And cries out for help
However the buried People of the Country hope
That one day we can rebuild the garden
And restore peace on Earth
But man is knowledge
And knowledge is greed
And we must all learn to be People of the Country and sing:
We're the People of the Country
We're the People of the Country
And the People of the Country won't forget
We're the People of the Country
I'm the Person of the Country
And I won't forget...
