lyrics

Their arrival
was violent.
The cliffs our fathers feared
were silent.

Our fate sealed
in darkness.
They came down with their knives
and they ate us.

Oh limestone
you’re not my home no more
Oh limestone

Before that
we’d seen them
stewing up their clothes
for feeding.

When faced with
their station
who knows what we’d do
in our own nation.

Oh limestone
you’re not my home no more
Oh limestone
you’re not my home.
Oh limestone
you’re not my home.
