Troy Kingi - We Were Once Kings lyrics

This is getting hard now because
We once were kings
Inch by inch this archipelago
It turns to flames as this ancient landscape
Becomes commercialized
All will be forgotten unless
Our children rise

Light in the sky with feathers like a bird
For the lonely one and
The stone he overturned
Unified before it was destroyed a Paradise
This Holy place forged from the
Depths of thе earth
Goddess' rage turns thе fire into dirt

This is getting hard now because
We once were kings
Inch by inch this archipelago
It turns to flames as this ancient landscape
Becomes commercialized
All will be forgotten unless
Our children rise

Militarized zone covers sacred bones
My elders weep 'Cos now our dance is just
A cheap parlour trick
Been oppressed since your disease
Made me sick
Is this reality a thing I can unfix
It seems we’re just a game in politics

This is getting hard now because
We once were kings
Inch by inch this archipelago
It turns to flames as this ancient landscape
Becomes commercialized
All will be forgotten unless
Our children rise

Yes this will be hard now for us to be kings
Inch by inch this archipelago
It turns to flames as this ancient landscape
Becomes commercialized
All will be forgotten unless
Our children rise
