Fortunate Island © 2020 Ambiguous

When we arrived here to this island
Our hands were eager for gold
The sea was raging and hungry for flesh
But god delivered our souls

There we were we holy few
The world was ours to explore
We came to you oh fortunate island
To bring god to your shore

Silent night, holy night
The stars baptized us
With trickles of light

When we arrived here to this island
People were crude and obscene
So we’ll remain on this fortunate island
And keep them under our wing
