We who survived the plague

We have nothing

We who survived the plague

We have nothing

We who survived the plague

We have nothing

We who survived the plague

We have nothing



Oh we have labored

We have toiled

Yes we cleared this land

that we farm

And now the nation

Whom we've fed

looks upon us with scorn

And now the forest

the mighty forest

shall return to conquer



Oh we are a mirror

a distant mirror

when you look at us you will see

all your dreams

crushed upon the sea



Oh we have labored

we have toiled

webuilt our cities of stone

we have died

we did not fail

we built our cities of stone

yes we built our prisons

with their bars

we built the churches and spires

we built our palaces

and government houses

we built slums where we starve



Oh we are a mirror

a distant mirror

when you look at us you will see

all your dreams

crushed upon the sea
