时长： 03:47

Natives - Christy Moore[00:00:00]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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