The Land Beyond

when someone's above

someone's below

when the light goes on

where does the dark go

it goes

to the land beyond

when the clouds bring thunder

that cracks the sky

you can hear the drumming

on the other side

it beats

in the land beyond

oh, break my chains

break my vows

stamp my feet

and take a bow

i'm going

to the land beyond

oh, oh the land beyond

oh, oh the land beyond

you'll get no promises

all you get is this song

when the water rises

and the dam breaks

follow the river

just another snake

it goes

to the land beyond

when the monkey fever

puts you in your bed

try to remember 

what the poet said

you can sing it

on the other side

oh, break my chains

break my vows

stamp my feet

and take a bow

i'm going

to the land beyond

oh, oh the land beyond

oh, oh the land beyond

you'll get no promises

all you get is this song
