lyrics

All that you gave us we took
Sword thrusts and arrows we took
Calling for more until we lost our breath
Fall back well past the tree line
We’re safe behind the tree line
Let boughs and branches shield us from duress

‘Till all, ‘till all, the fall leaves fall
‘Till all, ‘till all, the fall leaves fall

And as we fought and died and bled
The noblemen convened in tents
Deciding what our fates would be outside our confidence
So in the morning when they came
We claimed the land in our own names
And stripped them of their titles with our quivers blades and fists

All that you left us we grew
Gardens and orchards we grew
Where cherry blossoms speak of coming fruit
Water and tend the tree lines
Guard and defend the tree lines
Let boughs and branches grow heavy and droop

‘Till all, ‘till all, the fall leaves fall
‘Till all, ‘till all, the fall leaves fall

And as we sow and reap and thresh
The richest all just beat their chests
Awash in stolen property and unearned confidence
And so we must safeguard our claim
With words and force and our good names
To keep the land alive and out of hands that crave cement
