BADLANDS LYRICS

"Back In History"

Well, I sat down by this old man who told me heroic stories
Of mermaids and old pirates, tales of failure, faith and glory
Once rumours were spread across the land of bravery
So protected far away, like a treasure in the sea

[Chorus:]
Tales full of glory told by scarred countrymen
They grew up in this old town where it all began
Shake their hands and just listen carefully
Forget time and go back in history

Sunday afternoon, the bar is filled with local heroes
Smoke is drifting through the place, in the dim light there are shadows
Well, outside a storm is raging and the rain is falling down
And a stranger's in for shelter, friendly people all around

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

While other places bow for profit and modernisation,
They hold on to old traditions against all contamination
It's a place of miracles, their way of life is not for sale
Visit this old town which captured beauty of a fairytale

[Chorus]
