From the open range they hailed
living free as the wind.
Children of the vast plains.
The hunter became the prey
as their land slipped away
into the bleeding horizon.
Empty promises of snake tongues.
Poisonous, venomous lies!
Dawning of a sombre age
of the sombre age
Dawning of a sombre age!
In black the days were hung
when ancient ways denied
struggling in chain and in shackles.
Refused the native tongue
losing identity
once of pride and of power.
Empty promises of snake tongues.
Poisonous, venomous lies!
Dawning of a sombre age
of the sombre age
Dawning of a sombre age!
Empty promises of snake tongues.
Poisonous, venomous lies!
Dawning of a sombre age
of the sombre age
Dawning of a sombre age!
living free as the wind.
Children of the vast plains.
The hunter became the prey
as their land slipped away
into the bleeding horizon.
Empty promises of snake tongues.
Poisonous, venomous lies!
Dawning of a sombre age
of the sombre age
Dawning of a sombre age!
In black the days were hung
when ancient ways denied
struggling in chain and in shackles.
Refused the native tongue
losing identity
once of pride and of power.
Empty promises of snake tongues.
Poisonous, venomous lies!
Dawning of a sombre age
of the sombre age
Dawning of a sombre age!
Empty promises of snake tongues.
Poisonous, venomous lies!
Dawning of a sombre age
of the sombre age
Dawning of a sombre age!
