"The Dead Heart"


We don't serve your country
Don't serve your king
Know your custom don't speak your tongue
White man came took everyone

We don't serve your country
Don't serve your king
White man listen to the songs we sing
White man came took everything

We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken

We don't serve your country
Don't serve your king
Know your custom don't speak your tongue
White man came took everyone

We don't need protection
Don't need your hand
Keep your promise on where we stand
We will listen we'll understand

We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken

We carry in our hearts the true country
And that cannot be stolen
We follow in the steps of our ancestry
And that cannot be broken

Mining companies, pastoral companies
Uranium companies
Collected companies
Got more right than people
Got more say than people
Forty thousand years can make a difference to the state
of things
The dead heart lives here
I see your love shining out from my furry friends faces, when I look into their eyes. I see you in the flower’s smile, the rainbow, and the wind in the trees....

Oh man, nice find, Spiritwind.

This is very much along the lines of Stephen King's novel "Desperation".

He's not the greatest person but does occasionally channel a great work. Imo Desperation was a pretty ok story. It had extremely deep spiritual undertones that are frankly atypical of King.

The antagonist of the novel was the entity Tak.
Can de lach, he would say, Heart of the Unformed.
He spoke in The Language of the Dead.

His well was found in an abandoned mining shaft in the middle of a dig on the border of Desperation, a fictional American Southwest town in the desert.

So eerie.

Wikipedia :

Desperation is a story about several people who, while traveling along the desolated Highway 50 in Nevada, get abducted by Collie Entragian, the deputy of the fictional mining town of Desperation. Entragian uses various pretexts for the abductions, from an arrest for drug possession to "rescuing" a family from a nonexistent gunman. It becomes clear to the captives that Entragian has been possessed by an evil being named Tak, who has control over the surrounding desert wildlife and must change hosts to keep itself alive. They begin to fight for their freedom, sanity and lives before realizing that if they are ever to escape Desperation, they must trap Tak in the place from which he came.
Brotherhood falls asunder at the touch of fire!
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not coloured like his own, and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
~William Cowper

I think I may have already posted this one earlier in the thread but I don't care. I love this rendition of this song so much I'm doing it again. It's not a great quality recording but it's a great expression.

It's about listening to what's already inside of you instead of the stuff coming at you.

My mind says NO, no way ! I'm not doing it... too much suffering. But I know I already said YES. Such a challenge, and yet, it is not.
