The Sunken Lands Lyrics

[00:07.29] Five cans of paint in the empty fields
[00:13.66] The dust reveals
[00:20.22] The children cry, the work never ends
[00:26.73] There's not a single friend
[00:34.26] Who will hold her hand in the sunken lands?
[00:41.45]
[00:58.60] The mud and tears melt the cotton balls
[01:05.41] It's a heavy toll, oh-oh
[01:11.95] His words are cruel and they sting like fire
[01:18.70] Like the devil's choir, oh-oh
[01:25.44] But who will hold her hand in the sunken lands?
[01:32.35]
[02:03.72] The river rises and she sails away
[02:09.98] But she could never stay, oh-oh
[02:16.91] Now her work is done in the sunken lands
[02:24.03] There's, five empty cans
[02:33.22]
