The Day That He Returned Home
Its been many many centuries
Since the day I left
My fathers visions have been foretold
Of our country that has been left so reft
If you stand where I return
Look to the skies and you will see
For after the blinding flash
I will appear in front of thee
Beside me now you stand
A man of history
This day that I returned home
In memory of my family
To be here once again
Where I once stood as a boy
With my family and my friends
The most ultimate of joys
Our castle that was once our home
Where my family were safe and slept
Everyday my clan prospered and grew
Then to a new world, I crept
For that misty night in the Minch
Strange lights rose from its dark
Breaking from the waters so blue
Their silver ship did park
They had lain in patient dormant
Awaiting the birth of me
For thousands of years in the dark
They decided I was the one to free
This quiet son of Kade
To a different world called theirs
Stepped into their ship that parked
Gone from their clan, their heir
He turns to those who stand
Who witnessed his arrival
And the dereliction of grey
His clans castle, and their survival
Its comforts in weathered worn
Surrounded by poppies high
Where once were fields of wheat and corn
All that grows are red of die
For those that stood beside him
Just after that blinding flash
Was Semaj, the son of Kade
Their ancestor from their past
