Song Of The Dispossessed Lyrics - Spiritchaser - Dead Can Dance

The river is deep and the road is long, 

Daylight comes and I want to go home. 

Awoke this morning 

To find my people's tongues were tied 

And in my dreams 

They were given books to poison their minds. 

The river is deep and the mountain high, 

How long before the other side. 

We are their mortar, 

Their building bricks and their clay. 

Their gold teeth mirror 

Both our joys and our pain.

The river is deep and the ocean wide, 

Who will show us how to read the signs. 

The earth is our mother 

She taught us to embrace the light, 

Now the lord is master 

She suffers an eternal night.

You blocked up my ears, 

You plucked out my eyes, 

You cut out my tongue, 

You fed me with lies, 

Oh lord.
