Pain Of Salvation - Black Hills Lyrics
[Music: D.Gildenlow]'They tell all the people of Europe, it's a good, clean industry, it's agreat way to save the world. But I'm here to tell you that now they'reknocking on our door because they can't find any place to store the damnedstuff for eternity, They come to our homeland and they want to lease someland for 10,000 years!'This was our home - we had our truthBled for our creed - why must we still bleed?Your tailings are bound forever in this ground...So you come for our holy groundWhen your nature's gone and your house has burnt downNo!For hundreds of years you've hurt this landEating what's there, leaving a wastelandBut there are no space to hold all your mistakesStill you come for our holy groundWhen your nature's gone and your houses are all burnt down[instrumental][Hallgren]'To this day, they will not return our sacred land, even though theirhighest hypocritical court said that we could and indeed did, own theBlack Hills. I still continue to struggle for the eventuality of regaining that sacred land.'
