He watches the morning light Catch on her raven hair Curves of her lips Promising a life that they will share Two lovers intertwined In the light of a winter's dawn As the rumble of war sweeps down through the valley So stay with me, oh lover My heart's filled with worry Stay with me, oh lover The borders are burning And the war is yearning To take you away from me And bury you deep in the clay down below So she waits by a river For the ghost of her lover His legacy she carries Soon to be a mother But the echoes of the fallen Still carry on in the morning Searching for the way home To their own true love's kiss So come to me, oh lover Your unborn is yearning Come to me, oh lover My heart is still burning My soul is yearning To feel the river swirling To join you once more In the next world, eternal To join you once more In the next world, eternal

We are the black rose Let no one doubt our course Rise up and let them feel our thorns And freedom will be ours We are the black-thorned rose Singing songs for the unsung Rise up and let them hear our roar The lowborn's day has come A flower shall grow where a peasant's blood flows Our lives they have taken all the seeds they have sold Rise up from the soil we till Rise up from the soil that they owe We are the black rose Let no one doubt our course Rise up and let them feel our thorns So freedom may be ours We are the black-thorned rose Singing songs for the unsung Rise up and let them hear our roar The lowborn's day has come For each rose they cut down Another will grow 'Til the land is covered with petals like snow No light in your castles, no light in your gold Our fight is undying Our truth will be told We are the black rose Let no one doubt our course Rise up and let them feel our thorns And freedom will be ours We are the black-thorned rose Singing songs for the unsung Rise up and let them hear our roar The lowborn's day has come We are the black-thorned rose Let our voice be our blade as one Rise up and let them feel our thorns The lowborn's day has come

Traveling in a fried-out Kombi On a hippie trail, head full of zombie I met a strange lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me breakfast And she said Do you come from a land down under Where women glow and men plunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder You better run, you better take cover Buying bread from a man in Brussels He was six foot tall and full of muscle I said... Do you speak-a my language? He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich And he said I come from a land down under Where beer does flow and men chunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder You better run, you better take cover Lying in a den in Bombay With a slack jaw, and not much to say I said to the man... Are you trying to tempt me? Because I come from the land of plenty And he said Oh! Do you come from a land down under (oh yeah yeah) Where women glow and men plunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder You better run, you better take cover Oh!
