《Natives》歌词

[00:00:00] Natives - Christy Moore

[00:00:14] For all of our languages we can't communicate

[00:00:23] For all of our native tongues we're all natives here

[00:00:32] Sons of their fathers' dream the same dream

[00:00:41] The sound of forbidden words becomes a scream

[00:00:50] Voices in anger victims of history

[00:00:59] Plundered and set aside grow fat on swallowed pride

[00:01:13] With promises of paradise and gifts of beads and knives

[00:01:22] Missionaries and pioneers are soldiers in disguise

[00:01:31] Saviours and conquerers they make us wait

[00:01:39] Like fishers of men they wave their truth like bait

[00:01:48] But with the touch of a stranger's hand innocence turns to shame

[00:01:58] The spirit that dwelt within now sleeps out in the rain

[00:02:31] For all of our languages we can't communicate

[00:02:40] For all of our native tongues we're all natives here

[00:02:49] The scars of the past are slow to disappear

[00:02:58] The cries of the dead are always in our ears

[00:03:07] And only the very safe can talk about wrong and right

[00:03:16] Of those who are forced to choose some will choose to fight

[00:03:30] For all of our languages we can't communicate
