Sacred Dirt

A fence dug into the sand Marks the border between our lands So much blood spilled by yours and mine Over this indelible line Will there ever come such a time again When we can live as one just like back then? How many more need to get hurt Fighting over this sacred dirt? 70 years have passed since we won And we brothers earned our freedom But what was once one had become two And between us only tensions grew A shared set of our joint struggle's heroes… But I guess that's just how the story goes You lit a fire that couldn't be unlit And it chipped away at us bit by bit Will there ever come such a time again When we can live as one just like back then? How many more need to get hurt Fighting over this sacred dirt? Wise men did once say For every step you take, there's a price to pay You started something neither one can end Some bonds are broken that you can never mend With every battle, we drift further apart And the brotherhood no longer burns in our hearts The blood was spilled - it does our souls stain And hate's poison now courses through our veins Will there ever come such a time again When we can live as one just like back then? How many more need to get hurt Fighting over this sacred dirt? Can't help but wonder how things might have been No war - no violence from kin on kin The land we all love for all our kind No malice for each in heart or mind But it seems that is mere fantasy And this is how it'll always be But I still have hope, though just a sliver That blue will replace this blood river Will there ever come such a time again When we can live as one just like back then? How many more need to get hurt Fighting over this sacred dirt? Fighting over This Sacred Dirt...
