The Dream Is Dead

The shadow of death is always near

I see it clear, there is comfort there

Death is life as life is death

Sufferance eternal, sufferance immortal

The well has run dry, the crops have died

Empty, hollow, today and tomorrow

No hope for a better life

Don't dare to dream

The dream is dead

No hope, the dream is dead

No future, the dream is dead

No hope, no future

The shadow of death is following

It wakes me, it speaks to me

It says it has much work to do

It's coming for me, it's coming for you

The rains have stopped, the cattle have died

Then comes the frost, the all is lost

When the working poor can't work no more

Don't dare to dream

The dream is dead
