Old Country

lyrics

Old Country
i am a shallow grave.
slicing dark peat, you wrapped your church in a flag
and sacrificed it to disease.
buoyed by bitter, anxious thougts, buried slights,
you build monuments to martyrs with our ashes.
we’re digging all our lives.
you taste of low tide.
you stink of decay.
your churches lie empty.
your god is depressed.
the old language has fallen.
your dark hills are broken.
the wheel is not turning.
the green grass is scalded
