lyrics

the ravens are cawing for their dead brother
the ravens in mourning on black mountain tower

all the beaches’ sand has turned dark red
all the beaches’ sand has turned dark red

in the days after the massacre
we waited for the rain to wash away the blood

the men walk through the town centre
got their guns on their backs so their hands are free
they’re taking names and giving numbers to the children
the lucky ones won’t be who they keep

c’mon baby
i know your hurtin’
all over the earth
your bones are broken
your forests smokin’
iceless ice-bergs
but we weren’t born to die
this mortal body contains immortal soul
we were born to live,
we were born to fight,
c’mon let’s go

about

skybelly Melbourne, Australia

born under a full moon,
perfumed by jasmine & roses,
this long-legged damsel
is a one helluva hell raiser.
she's a librettist,
a space dust sorceress,
with love on her hands and blood in her heart.
