lyrics

To the Bells

With anger burring in the night
We rode canoes like Israelites
Old cricked trees that scorch and peel
Your arms were instruments of steel
I hear the murmurings of tribes
With these businessmen and bribes
And arrows flung across the land
To the bells of Abraham

Like oil clustered in the night
Porirua and Kelvin Heights
I drink the cup before the rain
Subsides these districts drunk again
When I was shown the Promised Land
With cigarettes and dust guitars
I saw tobacco slums and gangs
With every pick up line from bars
And politicans in the towns are talking heads with talking crowns
A corporation rolling through
And quarry wars that no one knew
And sons return to what once was land
To the bells of Abraham

I drunk with driftwood in taverns
I saw fists like silver ferns
Then yin and yang walked down the street
To the beat of Abraham
