Our mother aches
Iron claws dig until she breaks
And she bleeds for this

How much is enough?

I remember listening to songs of the sun

For all those, who's breath was stolen
Who's future was taken away
Who learned too late


CHORUS:
And so we sing again

To the house of dawn
There are no words, no words that can right these wrongs.


This land breathes pain
And nothing grows
that doesn't carry the trauma

that we've wept, that you sow...

CHORUS


this empire of blood and bones
of stolen, poisoned, homes...

genocide... mutilated ghosts...

fierce hearts lay buried... their struggle speaks...

fierce hearts lay buried... saying...
"leave it in the ground..."


While the mines lay abandoned -- What has been done?
Wells poisoned... nothing has been done?
Cancers spread... tell me, what has been done?

To right these wrongs! To right these wrongs!

CHORUS
