Things Of Stone And Wood - Is This Where I Must Lie lyrics

This land once scarred With song suffocates Beneath this d**hly sheet of plastic That we call our home Australia ? What have we done The ancient voices Silenced by the hum By the fury of this emptyness (It is) A tuneless song sung with precision A poem dead without meaning (It is) A love that never new pa**ion ? A body without a heart What have we done Is this where I must lie Is this where I must lie Is this where I must lie I have seen the other side The crimes run in our blood They shadow every step Step lightly my friends Won't you paint my face in ochre and truth Won't you scar my chest with wisdom Won't you fill my head with dreams Won't you bury me Bury me deep Is this where I must lie Is this where I must lie Is this where I must lie I have seen the other side
