Look there the serpent's body
Wet and glistening in the ancient sunlight
Long before we could contemplate time


Picture it, scoring deep
Into the earth, belly laden with a thousand stories

Leaving rivers in a wake of valleys
Every when breathe a song


Ghosts in the memories of old folk
Heard every murder, heard every lie that you told
Heard every lie that you told

Every when remembers all

Come with fear left behind

Come with listening in mind
Come with silence, come break your heart
Come with humility

Come with willing to see
Come with courage, confront our history


Cracked feet of ancestors dancing
To the broken record repeating
That this land is empty

Steal their voices for this land is empty

Sorry is only as strong as

The time it takes the past to repeat again
An empty word
File it with all the other empty words

Every when breathe a song
Every when remembers all


Come with fear left behind
Come with listening in mind
Come with silence, come break your heart

Come with humility
Come with willing to see
Come with courage, confront our history
