We who survived the plague We have nothing We who survived the plague We have nothing We who survived the plague We have nothing We who survived the plague We have nothing
Oh we have labored We have toiled Yes we cleared this land that we farm And now the nation Whom we've fed looks upon us with scorn And now the forest the mighty forest shall return to conquer
Oh we are a mirror a distant mirror when you look at us you will see all your dreams crushed upon the sea
Oh we have labored we have toiled webuilt our cities of stone we have died we did not fail we built our cities of stone yes we built our prisons with their bars we built the churches and spires we built our palaces and government houses we built slums where we starve
Oh we are a mirror a distant mirror when you look at us you will see all your dreams crushed upon the sea
