My song is of time and memory

What we forget when we change the story

We took as much as our books could carry

And found a lie on the truth they buried

Safe keep in the sleep of poppies

Forget there was someone here before me

Build temples of police and landlords

To worship money, the god we pay for

There I stood on the shore

Of a story we don′t tell anymore

All the names were erased

Buried under a land that my people stole

I had a dream where I stood in the water

Like the trees that grew with your daughters

Ships came full of sick and plunder

One day this will all be over

The creeks run like ghosts in the basement

Still alive coursing their displacement

Our seeds of eternal war

Lay buried in an unknown shore

There I stood on the shore

Of a story we don't tell anymore

All the names were erased

Buried under a land that my people stole

Even the rivers run dry

Built a highway big enough to stop time

White clouds drift by

Over a country founded on a genocide
