allfather – lampedusa lyrics
they went down to the water
to lay them down to sleep
beneath a sky without stars
in the water so dark
they laid them down to sleep
no good can come of that water
just the promise of darkness below
no mother of pearl
no place in this world
just the slow and sure reaping of souls
the man that crossed that same water
with a cross and a gun at his side
oh how barren the earth
how deadly the curse
in the wake of his fire and lies
they that cross that same water
in the path of that man once before
no welcoming arms
just the promise of harm
as they sink to the bottom of it all
there’s a war that drives their sons from their sides
there’s a war in the land that they seek
where we rage at their kin
at the colour of their skin
as they drown in the tears of the sea
they went down to the water
to lay them down to sleep
beneath a sky without stars
in the water so dark
they laid them down to sleep
they are thrown into the sea
or cast out overboard
not waving
but drowning
and things they fall apart
in the cold white heart of man
overseers
slave masters
colonise the mind
colonise the soul
rape the land
for it’s weight in gold
i cast the whip
and i brand the skin
and i break the will
let god’s love in
there are no apologies
the conscience lies unstirred
sleeping sound on
a sea of bones
they owned you once
we, the heirs of a poisoned cup
we drank it down
we watched you drown
colonise the mind
colonise the soul
rape the land
weight in gold
i cast the whip
and i brand the skin
and i break the will
let god’s love in
lampedusa
