Lyrics
Black Gold
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My veins ran thick
With petrol
My rulers bled me
I fell as i was
Felled before -
When i was
Wood
And knew no
Evil
Pipes and wells
Ran like a wen,
Steel mosquitos
Tore my
Skin
Black gold
My own no more
I mangled men
I spat their gore
Black gold
Crushed and refined,
Siphoned
And sold
Above,
This oriflamme proclaims
My woe, but
Singing waters
Move my mass
Below.
