This land of rock and of mud
Built upon layers of blood
Where once our forefathers stood
Will one day return to wild woods
How many drops in the sea
Of poison can there really be?
How many creatures must die
Before there's none more to give us red tides?
This land of rock and of mud
Built upon layers of blood
Where once our forefathers stood
Will one day return to wild woods
We sing a d**h march how long
Be it muskets or nuclear bombs
God's on your side cause you're livin'
But you can't fight for peace, that's given
This land of rock and of mud
Built upon layers of blood
Where once our forefathers stood
Will one day return to wild woods
When all our time here is done
And out of earth's kitchen we are run
The dirt will sprout forth with new trees
Such a pity can't none of us see it
This land of rock and of mud
Built upon layers of blood
Where once our forefathers stood
Will one day return to wild woods
