We Open Up The Gateways Lyrics

Brusander
Now surely you know
That the country you go to
Is ruled by the law of the heathen
It's a land of deceivers!
Hear me out, Kristina
Their nation is godless
Their prophets are pagans
And never true believers! Robert
They say it's a country
Where no man is master Karl Oskar
Where farmers like me can look forward
To the harvesting season Kristina
With a heavy heart
I will go with my husband
I go for the children
And that's my only reason Brusander
Fifty years from today
There will be no America, you know Church warden and others
Yes, America it will have disappeared
Fifty years from this day Brusander
Just you mark my words
You'll be sorry if you go Emigrants
There is nothing to add
We are leaving whatever you say So come,
We open up the gateway
Come,
We've started on the quest
Come,
The stories from America
Encourage and inspire Yes come,
We open up the gateway
Come,
It opens to the West!
Come,
The promise of a second chance
Is spreading like a fire Brusander (to Danjel)
This country you go to
Is full of pretenders
They bow to their idols
And all they seek is trifles and treasure
There, Ulrika, men always
Yield to desire
A land full of lewdness
And lechery and pleasure Danjel
I trust in my GodKristina - We Open Up The Gateways - http://motolyrics.com/kristina/we-open-up-the-gateways-lyrics.html
He will lead me to freedom
He'll light up my path
I'm relying on the signs that He shows me Ulrika
I must get away
From these backstabbing lechers
And start, good as new,
In a place where no-one knows me Brusander
Fifty years from today
You will see how America will fail Church warden and others
Yes, America, it will have been erased
Fifty years from this day Brusander
Just you mark my words
You'll be sorry if you sail Emigrants
There is no more to add
We are leaving whatever you say So come,
We open up the gateway
Come,
We've started on the quest
Come,
The stories from America
Encourage and inspire Yes come,
We open up the gateway
Come,
It opens to the West!
Come,
The promise of a second chance
Is spreading like a fire It's a slow and hesitant beginning
In a land of little change
Hard to summon up the steel
To brave a world unknown And the thought of braking up from home is
Unfamiliar and strange
Yet so many risk their lives
And everything they own So come,
We open up the gateway
Come,
The mighty river flows
Come,
The promise of a better life
Has set a world in motion Yes come,
We open up the gateway
Come,
The mighty river grows
Come,
The tide has turned and
Time has come to reach across the Ocean
