Song of the Dispossessed (Remastered)

Song Of The Dispossessed (Remaster) - Dead Can Dance

Composer：Brendan Perry/Lisa Gerrard

The river is deep and the road is long

Daylight comes and I want to go home

Awoke this morning

To find my people's tongues were tied

If I

And in my dreams

They were given books to poison their minds

River

The river is deep and the mountain high

How long before the other side

We are their mortar

Their building bricks and their clay

River

Their gold teeth mirror

Both our joys and our pain

River

The river is deep and the ocean wide

Who will teach us how to read the signs

The earth is our mother

She taught us to embrace the light

River

Now the Lord is master

She suffers an eternal night

River

I say

You blocked up my ears

You plucked out my eyes

You cut out my tongue

You fed me with lies

Oh Lord

Oh Lord

Oh Lord

Oh Lord
