Water is Life (Boots on the Ground)

from The Rise and The Fall by Sean Ryder

/

lyrics

Water isn't sacred anymore.
The river's black with oil and with blood.
We can't drink that filth anymore.
Bodies buried deep beneath the mud.

Water is Life.

Sacred lands aren't sacred anymore,
when their excavators tear into the Earth.
Resting souls can't rest here anymore.
Poison ground stripped of all its worth.

Water is Life.

They'll beat us down swinging black batons.
Shoot pepper spray and tear gas in the crowd.
Fire rubber bullets at our heads,
each wound a scar we'll wear it strong and proud.

Boots are on the ground.

Water is Life.
