The Body is Gone lyrics

In the garden

Where we used to play

Hide and seek

In our fields

There’s a house now

Stronger than a giant

Black hole

Dark yards

Poisoned the stream

This land is my land

It’s so different

In my dreams

They say the farmers

Have lost their land

To the greedy man

To the greedy hand

The body is gone

But the spirit lives on

And on and on

On the ceiling

Of a left building

It says:

We will stay

But one night

They came

And the took them

All away

In the night

When everything’s

Meant to be quiet

They came knocking

And pounding

With blood in their eyes

Is there a story

From long ago

Of a better world

Of one righteous man

The body is gone

But the spirit lives on

The body is gone

And the spirit moves on

And on and on
