Last Penance - To The Bone Lyrics

We worked together
Hand in hand
To enslave this patch of land
We believed it is just fair
We will all get our share
But once we were done, there was no us
You took what you could,
Left the rest to rust
Now our bodies are aching
We see fire through the dust

Canaries have all choked
Your children will be broke
You cough from all the smoke
Yet you still believe
Prosperity is within your reach

Look at our castles on the shore
We told you can have this and even more
You just have to pass the sea
Just put your shoulder to the wheel
Keep on going when things get real
But we swam through calm waters
While you are drowning in our tar

Canaries have all choked
Your children will be broke
You cough from all the smoke
Prosperity is not here

We've been working our fingers to the bone
You keep saying we just need to give more
We'll drown looking at the shore
We'll drown looking at the shore
