the dust Lyrics

The cannons roar where the children play Fields of green, now a sea of grey

They send the young to fight the old man's war While mothers weep on blood-stained floors

And we're the children of the dust Born to ashes, taught to trust

But the sky keeps falling, the rivers run red How many more will march till they're dead

They write their laws with a soldier's hand But truth's buried deep beneath the sand

A thousand voices scream at the dawn Yet the wheels of the war keep grinding on

And we're the children of the dust Born to ashes, taught to trust

But the sky keeps falling, the rivers run red How many more will march till they're dead

We're the children of the dust Born to ashes, taught to trust

But the sky keeps falling, the rivers run red How many more will march till they're dead

We're the children of the dust Born to ashes, taught to trust

But the sky keeps falling, the rivers run red How many more will march till they're dead

What good is a flag when it blinds your sight? What good is freedom if we can't make it right

The coffins rise, the dreams decay While the world turns its head the other way

We're the children of the dust Born to ashes, taught to trust

But the guns keep firing, the promises fade We're left to mourn the lives they betrayed

So lay down the rifles, unchain the skies Let peace take root where the war machine dies

For we're the children of the dust no more We'll sing our freedom and end the war

We'll sing our freedom and end the war

We're the children of the dust no more We'll sing our freedom and end the war

So lay down the rifles, unchain the skies Let peace take root where the war machine dies

For we're the children of the dust no more We'll sing our freedom and end the war

We'll sing our freedom and end the war
