ken theriot - fifty miles into the main كلمات الأغنية
one hundred mortal souls are we
who fly from fear and strife
denied our chosen destiny
new world, new land, new life
facing murder or starvation
we must somehow refuge gain
and we pray we find salvation
fifty miles into the main
my name is william waters
and i come from plymouth town
at walter raleigh’s just command
we sail for queen and crown
in virginia we would settle
english lands to challenge spain
but we’ll have to prove our mettle
fifty miles into the main
in fifteen_eighty_seven
we set sail for chesapeake
to found an english colony
and fortunes for to seek
after ten weeks of disaster
mere ill luck could not explain
we were forced to look for shelter
fifty miles into the main
a seasoned pilot steers us wrong
and cannot find his way;
was he ashore in spain too long
and bought for traitor’s pay?
john white feared the foes of raleigh
might subvert our whole campaign
cursing politics and folly
fifty miles into the main
on roanoke we light unplanned
too late to till or sow
george howe is dead by unknown hand
and stores are running low
friendly croatoan allies
cannot spare us meat or grain
so our only hope of help lies
fifty miles into the main
by god or mortal men betrayed
our need at least was clear
john white agreed to go for aid
and said for all to hear
“travel up the chowan river
where the land can life sustain;
may the lord your souls deliver
fifty miles into the main.”
virginia dare is six weeks old;
not all are fit to roam
a few will beg a closer hold
a croatoan home
they have carved their destination
in a tree to make it plain
but most flee in desperation
fifty miles into the main
one hundred mortal souls are we
who fly from fear and strife
still seeking for our destiny:
new world, new land, new life
plagued by savage hand or spaniard
all our hopes may be in vain
but we’ll follow promise westward
fifty miles into the main
