The Sunken Lands Lyrics
Five cans of paint
And the empty fields
And the dust reveals
The children cry
The work never ends
There's not a single friend
Who will hold her hand
In the sunken lands?
The mud and tears
Melt the cotton bolls
It's a heavy toll
His words are cruel
And they sting like fire
Like the devil's choir
But who will hold her hand
In the sunken lands?

The river rises
And she sails away
She could never stay
Now her work is done
In the sunken lands
There's five empty cans
