| We who survived the plague
|
| We have nothing
|
| We who survived the plague
|
| We have nothing
|
| We who survived the plague
|
| We have nothing
|
| We who survived the plague
|
| We have nothing
|
| Oh we have labored
|
| We have toiled
|
| Yes we cleared this land
|
| That we farm
|
| And now the nation
|
| Whom we’ve fed
|
| Looks upon us with scorn
|
| And now the forest
|
| The mighty forest
|
| Shall return to conquer
|
| Oh we are a mirror
|
| A distant mirror
|
| When you look at us you will see
|
| All your dreams
|
| Crushed upon the sea
|
| Oh we have labored
|
| We have toiled
|
| Webuilt our cities of stone
|
| We have died
|
| We did not fail
|
| We built our cities of stone
|
| Yes we built our prisons
|
| With their bars
|
| We built the churches and spires
|
| We built our palaces
|
| And government houses
|
| We built slums where we starve
|
| Oh we are a mirror
|
| A distant mirror
|
| When you look at us you will see
|
| All your dreams
|
| Crushed upon the sea |
