lyrics

We walk the roads, we walk alone
Our words are bone, our hearts are stone
We eat the earth, we drink the firth
We lost our worth, we seek rebirth
Mother Earth, give us life (the famine never ends)
Sister Sun, shine ahead (the sky is overcast)
Brother Rain, wash our strife (here come the tears again)
Father Time, take our dead (too few of us to last)
Here, our ancestors lying
Hear our ancestors crying
Story unread, our people misled
Our chieftains have fallen uncrowned
Shrine to our pain, our burial ground
You came as God, you turned the sod
Your kind defrauds, your kind marauds
Our homes displaced, our wives unlaced
Our lives erased, our souls disgraced
Mother Earth, split the ground (the trees begin to bend)
Sister Sun, shine blood red (the night is coming fast)
Brother Rain, thunder down (harness the storm again)
Father Time, wake our dead (the anger of the past)
Hear our ancestors calling
Fear our ancestors crawling
Curse on your head, the souls of our dead
They rise up with fury unbound
You have profaned our burial ground
The first that you hear is a wind howling out of the black (solos – H. Brooks)
Second, you fall as you’re struck with an unseen attack
Third, you will scream at the mark burning into the floor
Last, you will shrink from the beasts prowling outside the door
Out, we warned you, get out, oppressor
Get out, transgressor, get out, be gone
Out, trespasser, get out, amasser
Get out, for God’s sake get out
We warned you
Hear our ancestors weeping
Fear our ancestors creeping
A new soul has fed this Stygian bed
The cries of our vengeance resound
Your blood now stains our burial ground
