Will you ever be The mother that we've lost? Now our tears have fallen We pay the highest cost You will find your peace Only to be alone Without your restless sons When we touched your gold And burned the sky above We thought the end was just a fear A thought of despair we never felt near Where have we gone? It's human nature How can you forgive The poverty we've made And the silence that we broke With glory, death and pain Will you find the strength To kill your rebel sons And keep the purest souls When we touched our gold And burned the sky above We thought the end was just a fear A thought of despair we never felt near Where have we gone? It's human nature When the last part of black gold Will be stolen from your heart What will be our richness? What will be our fame? When we touched your gold And burned the sky above We thought the end was just a fear A thought of despair we never felt near Where have we gone? It's human nature When we touched your gold (When we touched your gold) And burned the sky above (And burned the sky above) We thought the end was just a fear A thought of despair we never felt near Where have we gone? It's human nature
