Lyrics:
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."
Culture fades with tears and grace,
leaving us stunned hollow with shame we have seen this all, seen this all before.
Many tribes of a modern kind, doing brand new works, same spirit by side,
joining hearts and hand and ancestral twine,
ancestral twine.
Many tribes of a modern kind, doing brand new works, same spirit by side,
joining hearts and hand and ancestral twine,
ancestral twine.

Slowly it fades.
Slowly we fade.
Slowly it fades.
Slowly we fade.

Spirit bird she creaks and groans she knows she has,
seen this all before she has, seen this all before she has.
Spirit bird she creaks and groans she knows she has,
seen this all before she has, seen this all before she has.

Slowly you fade.
Slowly it fades.
Slowly you fade.
Slowly it fades.
Slowly you fade.

Soldier on,
Soldier on, my good country man.
Keep fighting for your culture, now keep fighting for your land.

I know it's been thousands 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 beautiful old people those wise old souls have been ground down for far too long,
by that spineless man that greedy man,
that heartless man,
deceiving man,
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 breath.

Soldier on,
Soldier on, my good country man.
Keep fighting for your children now keep fighting for your land.

Slowly you fade.
Slowly it fades.
Slowly you fade.
Slowly you fade.

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."
