Elephant - Martin Carthy
Lyrics by:Les Barker
Composed by:Les Barker
We once were thousands we roamed the plain
We once were thousands when time began
Ten thousand clouds sailing southern lands
Cut down to size by the hands of man
They came like gods with the minds of fools
They straightened nature to fit their plan
We lived with nature by nature's rules
Such rules that break beneath the yoke of man
They came with guns and they came to kill
They stained the earth with my mother's blood
And still they come there's nothing to still
The hand of man till we're gone for good
As down she lay and our eyes were filled
We willed her live on through all the day
We gathered round we grey soundless hills
We covered her then we went away
Mankind has murdered my family
For art for greed and for vanity
He'll kill until there's nothing to see
Only her likeness in ivory
