lyrics

The ocean will drown you all

Foreign feet in a sacred place
Drawing your lines carving empty space
This earth is dark and the roots go deep
Trees drink the blood of your final sleep

No quarter, no respect, not from me
Be angry at the sun, charge at the sea

Outnumbered, on the run and outgunned
You think today that the battle is won
I will gladly give my life this day
And when the tide rises it will be repaid

Are you afraid to die
Far from home beneath a lonely sky
Boots on their necks in a hundred years
They'll remember how we died and draw strength from their tears

Stone yields to the ocean
Build a wall but you can't hold the sea
This is far from over
Your troubles in this life won't end with me

The time will come when you think we are gone
Your eyes yearn for the coming of dawn
As you relax and release your breath
My people come and their name is death

A storm builds in the ocean
Primeval fury bringing death and dismay
A storm builds in the ocean
The waves in their rage will wash you away

Stone yields to the ocean
Build a wall but you can't hold the sea
This is far from over
Your troubles in this life won't end with me
