Song language: English
River Runs Red |
| So you cut all the tall trees down |
| You poisoned the eart and the sky |
| You’ve taken what’s good from the ground |
| But you left precious little for me You remember the flood and the fall |
| We remember the light on the hill |
| There should be enough for us all |
| But the dollar is driving us still |
| CHORUS |
| River runs red |
| Black rain falls |
| Dust in my hand |
| River runs red |
| Black rain falls |
| On my bleeding land |
| So we came and conquered and found |
| Riches of commons and kings |
| Who strangled and wrestled the ground |
| But they never put back anything |
| Now I’m trapped like a dog in a cage |
| Wherever the truth is pursued |
| It must be the curse of the age |
| What’s taken is never renewed |
| CHORUS |
