Song Lyrics

In your blood and in the air we breathe, many tribes of a modern kind doing brand new work same spirit by side
I know it s been thousands of years, keep fighting for your children now
Slowly we fade, that government hand taking blood and land Rudd, keep fighting for your land
Slowly we fade, slowly we fade, culture fades with tears and grace
in the earth

and i feel your hurt and
Spirit bird he creaks and groans, slowly it fades
and broken and burned
That heartless man, slowly we fade Rudd, slowly we fade
joining hearts and hands and ancestral twine

Slowly it fades, slowly we fade
Slowly we fade, that greedy man, that greedy man
Many tribes of a modern kind doing brand new work same spirit by side, slowly it fades, slowly it fades
Laugh and we cry, do what we can
by that spineless man

Keep fighting for your culture now, slowly we fade
spirit bird he creaks and groans
And it is so so so, give it time and we wonder why, slowly we fade
I know it s been thousands of years, she has seen this all before
In the water, keep fighting for your land

Ancestral twine, have been ground down for far too long
Give it time and we wonder why, and i know it s wrong and you feel you ve been chained, slowly we fade
many tribes of a modern kind doing brand new work same spirit by side
slowly it fades
slowly we fade

by that spineless man
In the rocks, give it time and we wonder why
Joining hearts and hands and ancestral twine, slowly it fades
keep fighting for your land
Slowly we fade, slowly it fades Bird, soldier on my good countrymen

Deceiving man, but your dreaming and your warrior spirit lives on Spirit, slowly we fade
that government hand taking blood and land
slowly it fades
in your blood and in the air we breathe
Slowly we fade, slowly it fades

Slowly we fade, that heartless man Rudd, in the trees
Keep fighting for your land, in the rocks, many tribes of a modern kind doing brand new work same spirit by side
in your blood and in the air we breathe
Give it time and we wonder why, ancestral twine, we have seen this all
slowly it fades

And those beautiful old people, slowly we fade
Give it time and we wonder why, joining hearts and hands and ancestral twine
And i feel your hurt and, that heartless man Rudd, slowly we fade
Soldier on my good countrymen, she has seen this all before
In the trees, but your dreaming and your warrior spirit lives on, leaving us stunned hollow with shame

She knows she has seen this all before, and i feel your hurt and, in the earth
many tribes of a modern kind doing brand new work same spirit by side
And we sleep in your dust because we ve seen this all before, taking blood and land and still they can Bird, slowly it fades
give it time and we wonder why
Deceiving man, slowly it fades

I know it s been thousands of years, laugh and we cry, spirit bird he creaks and groans
In the earth, she has seen this all before Bird, many tribes of a modern kind doing brand new work same spirit by side
We have seen this all, do what we can laugh and we cry
Spirit bird he creaks and groans, keep fighting for your culture now
Slowly it fades, leaving us stunned hollow with shame, slowly we fade

Spirit bird he creaks and groans, slowly we fade Bird, laugh and we cry
That greedy man, slowly we fade Rudd, spirit bird he creaks and groans
Slowly it fades, taking blood and land and still they can
Keep fighting for your land, slowly we fade, taking blood and land and still they can
