lyrics

You were promised new beginnings,
The land was fresh and new.
A homestead built by you,
Bodies beneath.

But soon the land would turn its back,
Dark skies over you.
As they turned grey from blue,
The hunger rose.

You gnaw at your wife's face,
The flesh tears, the bone breaks.
Your daughter is screaming,
There's no redeeming.

Your family lies in pieces,
Your nephews, your nieces,
You're covered in their blood,
Standing in the mud.

You can't help but to wonder,
If this stolen land was cursed
Now that you've seen the worst,
Of what you could be.

Buried in a shallow pit,
Not a stone to mark the dead,
Memories in your head,
Flood back when you blink.

You gnaw at your wife's face,
The flesh tears, the bone breaks.
Your daughter is screaming,
There's no redeeming.

Your family lies in pieces,
Your nephews, your nieces,
You're covered in their blood,
Standing in the mud.

This wretched land,
Stolen from others hands,
It wore your humanity down.

Hungry and alone,
Nowhere to call home,
Everything you did, buried in the ground.

You gnaw at your wife's face,
The flesh tears, the bone breaks.
Your daughter is screaming,
There's no redeeming.

Your family lies in pieces,
Your nephews, your nieces,
You're covered in their blood,
Standing in the mud.
