Stars and crosses

Crosses and stars

We meet at the border 

With its beauty and its scars

The sunken city rises in this land of drought

The border is restless in this land of doubt

 

Stars and crosses

Crosses and stars

We meet at the border 

With its beauty and its scars

In the shadow of the cradle

By the altar we say

Our father who art

Our father we pray

 

Stars and crosses

Crosses and stars

We meet at the border 

With its beauty and its scars

The white sun turns

Iron to rust

Gold to ash

Falcon to dust

 

Stars and crosses

Crosses and stars

Crosses and stars

Glitter and bars

We meet at the border

With its beauty and its scars

Its beauty and its scars

Glitter and bars

We meet at the border 

With its crosses and stars

 

The sunken city rises in this land of drought

The border is restless in this land of doubt
