Testi

[Verse 1]
I'm a python of the ages
Chew the bones of Eastern sages
Burning ink of Western pages
Shed the skin of plastic saviours
I be moving through the wayward
Like a flame forever changing
[Verse 2]
Through the forest, through the river, through the era, and the blood
My ancestor come and get ya 'cause the battle isn't done
[Verse 3]
We be moving through the meadows with the churches overgrown
Like a mosaic of time before and moments that have flown
[Verse 4]
While you quiver like the slither in the shadow of a ghost
I'll be sliding, I'll be riding through the dreams of the unknown
I'm a metamorphic hieroglyph
A forest nymph with poison spit
Forbidden fruit that Adam bit
The power of a serpent's kiss
A young man and an ancient kid
A billion years that lead to this
Body that my blood is in
People that I'm carrying
I'm riding on the river babe
Smoking bottlebrush for days
Into the night that fills my veins
The flame of which my bones are made
Riding on the river babe
Smoking bottlebrush for days
That moves inside my blood to make
The serpent in me come awake
[Verse 5]
Through the forest, through the river, through the era, and the blood
My ancestor come and get ya 'cause the battle isn't done
Through the forest, through the river, through the era, and the blood
My ancestor come and get ya 'cause the battle isn't done
[Verse 6]
The storm came, the rain poured
The thunder cracked, they still snore
They have a lot, we want more
They have our stuff, it ain't yours
It ain't yours, it ain't yours
Young koori go on a world tour
My ancestors come forth
So that I can provide more
The cold wind blows, open the door
They still snore, they still snore
What's next, what would they change for?
All I know is they need a wake up call
[Verse 7]
Through the forest, through the river, through the era, and the blood
My ancestor come and get ya 'cause the battle isn't done
Through the forest, through the river, through the era, and the blood
My ancestor come and get ya 'cause the battle isn't done
[Verse 8]
You only know as much as you learn
I'm trying to get my shit back like I'm pumping an urn
Longest bloodline in the room
And proud, fight for my right till I'm in my tomb
[Verse 9]
Richest heritage of existence
But we still exist, talk about resistance
Land rights still not efficient
Reconcilition, insufficient!
[Verse 10]
Insufficient (Insufficient), insufficient (Insufficient)
Insufficient (Insufficient), insufficient (Insufficient)
[Verse 11]
Through the forest, through the river, through the era, and the blood
My ancestor come and get ya 'cause the battle isn't done
Through the forest, through the river, through the era, and the blood
My ancestor come and get ya 'cause the battle isn't done
