about

Enter three WITCHES:

When shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
When the hurlyburly's done,
When the battle's lost and won.
That will be ere the set of sun.
Where the place?
Upon the heath.

Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air.

Exeunt.

(Macbeth: Act 1, Scene 1)

lyrics

They came for their land grab,
They came with their industry
They paved their highways // to take us away!
The mountain is severed,
We are disposable
We hold our ground // but the ground's caving in!

Run! With all you can! Run from this!
Or Fight! With all yr heart! We're all thats left!

Don't wait for tomorrow, We are all that's left
Don't pray on tomorrow, We are all that's left

Another day, another sleepless night
The stars have been kicked out from floodlights.
Still we rise, like saplings in the fog
Growing from the trunks of fallen logs.

Black water in our wells,
Black water from our skies
It's packaged clean // but we know it's a lie!
The crest of the morning,
The crux of the logging road.
Quick to the barricade // to prove we're still here!

Run! With all you can! Run from this!
Or Fight! With all yr heart! We're all thats left!
