Dawning of a Sombre Age

From the open range they hailed

living free as the wind.

Children of the vast plains.

The hunter became the prey

as their land slipped away

into the bleeding horizon.

Empty promises of snake tongues.

Poisonous, venomous lies!

Dawning of a sombre age

of the sombre age

Dawning of a sombre age!

In black the days were hung

when ancient ways denied

struggling in chain and in shackles.

Refused the native tongue

losing identity

once of pride and of power.

Empty promises of snake tongues.

Poisonous, venomous lies!

Dawning of a sombre age

of the sombre age

Dawning of a sombre age!

Empty promises of snake tongues.

Poisonous, venomous lies!

Dawning of a sombre age

of the sombre age

Dawning of a sombre age!
