lyrics

Born before a convict land
history’s crimes go hand in hand
nothing taken separate
could hope to understand

pale faces burn for genocide
the crumbling waste, the rising tide
guilt can carve a sacred path
the mighty burn their brides

Awash in revelation
this monkish desperation
the paralysed insane can see
their soul’s gross mutilation

forever cast aside of truth
no conversating, little use
a steady weight behind his eyes
don’t let the beast break loose

A heart so torn still sharp and clear
a blade that burns, a secret fear
to tear them all asunder
or to grasp, to coax and steer

too much thought is barely sane
the judge comes round to watch and claim
all who’ve felt are brought here
time comes to touch their pain

What is seen is very near
all that’s felt is brought straight here
the heart sinks in the darkness
the eyes the wells so clear

crammed in close, losing space
their lives as painted as their face
terrific, sore and longing
the pathetic human race

Forever cast aside of truth
no conversating, little use
