Land We Once Knew is a song about a father talking to his son who watches the corrupt world beyond the pain of glass that separates them. The father explains that the world is an evil place but that one day they will be able venture out and live out in the world they once knew. But until then, he tells his son to avert his eyes.
lyrics
Come away from the window cill
For dangers lurk beyond the glass
Strange creatures that we call humans
Twisted minds and fragile skin
Be patient, be patient
A day will come when we can venture out
Explore this land that we once knew
Dying trees and tried up lakes
This world is broken, this world is broken
So close the curtains
Come away from the window cill
It won't be long now
Don't be afraid
Sleep until the morning comes
Be patient, be patient
A day will come when we can venture out
Explore this land that we once knew
Dying trees and tried up lakes
This world is broken, this world is broken
So close the curtains
