Blackmore's Night - Village On The Sand

I saw three ships a-sailing in from across the sea
Strangers ne'er were welcome but for curiosity
But come they did and when they did ready they did stand
And things would never be the same in our Village on the Sand...

When the ships pulled in to dock the villagers did hide
When trouble came it usually was brought upon the tide
When the pirates disembarked they were making plans
And from then on things were not the same in our Village on the Sand...

The smugglers came into our town and many sought to run
I stood my ground bravely and came face to face with one
Time and travel on the seas weathered face and hand
He was different than the others in my Village on the Sand...

He told me of the years he'd spent on the stormy seas
Then he spoke a poet's words of philosophy
And when he had to leave again he asked me for my hand
And I knew I'd never see again my Village on the Sand...

@ckret2 oh and there is no aryan. all the people are in the same. and we must love the differences that we have

[protogonos73]

@ckret2 hello my friend. the swastika was an ancient greek symbol. and the aryan tribe was not the iran people. hitler wanted to kill all the jush, greeks and the people from the east so as to make a humanity with the greatest people as he was believing. he was just a fool. a very dangerous fool

Folk music + modern instruments = win! :D

The old style is good, too, but it's nice to mix things up when the result is something this enjoyable.

@ckret2 Oh I didn't know that. xD Thank you Hun. :) -learns new things all the time-

[ckret2]

@TheRandomamp Hitler borrowed the name so that he could claim the race he wanted to create was the earliest and greatest human race. It was ORIGINALLY a word to describe the people of the place now known as Iran, BEFORE Hitler came up with his definition. The same way he stole the swastika--which is a peaceful symbol used in several religions, including Hinduism and Buddhism--and used it as the Nazi symbol.

@thomasthetiger Aryan:

The 'blonde haired blue eyed race' which Hitler wanted to rule the world.
