soldier on soldier on my good countryman keep fighting for your culture now keep fighting for your land i know it's been thousand of years and i feel your hurt and i know it's wrong and you feel you've been chained and broken and burned and those beatiful old people those wise old soul's 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 countryman keep fighting for your children now keep fighting for your land
slowly it fades slowly we fade slowly you fade slowly it fades
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
