We dance our joy Barefoot upon thorns The sun burns our pain In tears of glistening sweat
We speak of love
With hatred in our hearts
Bitter like the sweet salt of the sea
We march forth
To the beginning of our end
Pride is hard to swallow on an empty stomach
We brave death in fear
Of the beauty of sunset
We breathe the dawn of grief
In the fading summer clouds
Vengeance of fatherless children
Walk the streets of prostitution
With blazing guns
Under the scorching sun
Fools search for greater fools to admire
Ghost birds break into song
In search of their lost homes
Every tree is a story
And the wind the story teller
