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 you fade

Slowly you fade

Spirit bird she creaks and groans

She knows she has seen this all before

She has seen this all before, she has

Spirit bird she creaks and groans

She knows she has seen this all before

She has seen this all before, she has

Slowly we fade

Soldier on, soldier on my good countrymen

Keep fighting for your culture now

Keep fighting for your land

And I know it's been thousands of years

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 souls 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 countrymen

Keep fighting for your children now

Keep fighting for your land

Slowly you fade

Slowly

Slowly you fade

Slowly you fade

Do what we can laugh and we cry

And we sleep in your dust because we've seen this all before
