Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

Give it time and we wonder why
Do what we can laugh and we cry
And we sleep in your dust
Because we've seen this all before

Culture fades with tears and grace
Leaving us stunned hollow with shame
We have seen this all seen this all before

Many tribes of a modern kind
Doing brand new work same spirit by side
Joining hearts and hands and ancestral twine ancestral twine
Many tribes of a modern kind
Doing brand new work same spirit by side
Joining hearts and hands and ancestral twine ancestral twine

Slowly it fades
Slowly we fade
Slowly it fades
Slowly we fade

Spirit Bird he creaks and groans
She knows she has seen this all before
She has seen this all before
Spirit Bird he creaks and groans
She knows she has seen this all before
She has seen this all before

Slowly it fades
Slowly we fade
Slowly it fades
Slowly we fade

Soldier on Soldier on my good countryman
Keep fighting for your culture now
Keep fighting for your land
I know it's been thousand of years and I feel your hurt
And I know it's wrong
And you feel you've been chained and broken and burned
And those beautiful old people those wise old
Soul's have been ground down for far too long
By that spineless man that greedy man that heartless man
Deceiving man that government hand taking blood and land
Taking blood and land and still they can
But your dreaming and your warrior spirit lives on
And it is so so so strong in the earth in the trees
In the rocks in the water in your blood and in the air we breathe
Soldier on Soldier on my good countryman
Keep fightng for your children now
Keep fighting for your land

Slowly it fades
Slowly we fades
Slowly you fades
Slowly it fades

Give it time and we wonder why Do what we can laugh and we cry
And we sleep in your dust because we've seen it all before
