lyrics

Lying by a dying fire with the full moon around my eyes
thoughts drowned in frogsong, a good friend by my side
the river was rolling by, quiet into my mind
I closed my lids and my eyes were sent back to a time when

There was a feast in the river, all down the line
like a taste from the giver, the giver of your mind
there was a cry and then a shiver running down my spine

People were just human then, another part of this breathing ground
they quarreled and cried, they were born and died
and they laid together when the night sank down
but when the cannibal tide rolled by, drowned their hearts and stole their pride
the land withdrew its open mind and the river was vacuumed dry

Wide open and breathing, teeming with life and death and life again
poisoned and seething with the black breath of industry, seeing stars through a haze
stolen and torn asunder, dying and brought to you by genocide
restoring and imploring, fighting, rewilding, and still giving
this land isn't our land this land is its own

The half-moon haloed by slow, translucent clouds
sifting through a haze of hostile city light to arrive on your face
anonymous and unacknowledged, forgotten with so much timeless knowledge
of how to live and how to die and how to be a human being, being free
