- Description: The violated earth abides, the coal stripped from its womb. It doesn't know from man's divides and serves a willing tomb.

The violated earth abides,  
the coal stripped from its womb.  
It doesn't know from man's divides  
and serves a willing tomb.

They razed our towns and burned our farms,  
and said: "these are our borders".  
Then cut our weeping willow's arms.  
"Just following our orders".
