Time and Place Songtext
von Ōverwhelm

This face is hundreds of years
Mixed and deluded but maintains certain features
Migrations chosen and forced upon us
Thousands of miles
These legs have reached; conquered many mountains

Plains and deserts haven′t stopped my lineage

Not a drought has ended descendants
These eyes have known many seas and oceans
Viewed lines that made up the horizon
Water that kept us at bay for centuries

Hair/ Skin/ Generation

A millennium...
My genetic unit measurement


Crossed but not discovered
Pulled by tides
Touching sands
Climbing novel rocks and beaches
How my family name became...

Still a part of a tribal nature
The square mileage inhabited
How far we've ventured from it
Always returning to where we started

Strength and grace
The mark of my people and many others, adjacent
The miracle of how we persist, not entirely jaded

Blood
Shared and spilt
Land
Water and soil
Family
Long lost and found again

Hair/ Skin/ Generation

A millennium...
My genetic unit measurement
