Black Gold Songtext
von News From Babel

My veins ran thick
With petrol
My rulers bled me
I fell as I was
Felled before –
When I was
Wood
And knew no
Evil


Pipes and Wells
Ran like a Wen,
Steel mosquitos
Tore my
Skin

Black Gold

My own no more
I mangled men
I spat their gore

Black Gold

Crushed and refined,
Siphoned
And sold


Above,
This oriflamme proclaims
My woe, but
Singing waters
Move my mass
Below.
