Pete Atkin - The Last Hill That Shows You All The Valley lyrics

Atkin-James On the last hill that shows you all the valley Look back to see what little's to be seen Burned books left over from the rally A worker-priest left bleeding in the alley And realise this place was never green On the last hill that shows you all your travel Look back to see your tepees disappear A team of army dump-trucks full of gravel Comes to fill the graves and tamp them level The buffalo will not return this year On the last hill that brands you as a dreamer Look back to see the dreams were always true The Persians went ashore at Iwo Jima Christ was in the gold mines at Kolyma Denounced because his mother was a Jew On the last hill that shows you all the battle Look back to everywhere you cried for joy The k**er-dogs run down your barren cattle Your kid Ca**andra walks collecting metal And you'll see when those rows of dust-clouds settle There are helicopters on the walls of Troy
