The Curse the Dappled Light Lyrics

Even the politicians marvel
That you still believe
They would deem
To serve you.

The land lies groaning,
The mountains huddle closer
For fear of what
The coming years will bring.
Those who tricked us once
Have come back round to try again.

Why won't you admit
Its only ever gotten worse?

Your vote adds weight to all they threaten,
Your trust the only mandate that they need.

And if they crush our fierce rebellion,
If they stamp out defiance-light,
I'd sooner cast off subordination
And believe in reprisal, and die for spite.

And even if the fights forgotten
And our rebellion is erased.
As the rubble of resistance buries us,
We'll never lie in cowards graves.
