lyrics

leaves of old countries still grow
against the stone
I know its angles from across the sea
no walls no sheep the forest deep
moss grows on the fallen

receivers of the stolen
bury your heads in your hands
counting always until it’s over
buried in mud or in sand

no can’t go beyond what we brought
and fenced off
bullshit fantasies
no one will catch your dreams

to the end we play pretend
that we have a tradition
that our way of life can last
that we’re not the last
earth wretched from what we did
in our freedom from consequences
a nation adolescent
repentant but never forgiven
