Land of a Thousand Hills (Ian D'Sa & Noble Blood) - Billy Talent

For love and for country, it’s never the same
To men of high power, the two don’t equate
When leaders of nations, and brokers of hate
Continue to play the most deadly of games

They shuffle their demons, and deal out their sins
Hand out their weapons, like candy to kids
Pull on their people, like puppets on strings
To play out their war, in the court of the king

And the fires keep burning in the middle of the night
The rivers keep flowing like the tears from your eyes
You can still hear the voices of all those who died
In the land of a thousand hills

We drank through the summer, and soaked in the sun
While over the ocean, the killing begun
They followed their leaders, and fired their guns
We had no idea, of what was to come

And the fires keep burning in the middle of the night
The rivers keep flowing like the tears from your eyes
You can still hear the voices of all those who died
They echo, they echo, like shots from a gun
They echo, they echo, like the rhythm of your drum
For one hundred days, you could never see the sun
In the land of a thousand hills

And years will have passed, ‘til the world would find out
The truth of unthinkable violence, so loud
It shattered the heavens, and silenced the crowd
The highest almighty, cannot save us now

Oh my brother, oh my brother, tell me what have you done?
We’ll hide in the church, ‘til the bulldozers come
There are men with machetes, and children with guns
We’ll never forgive you, for what you have done

And the fires keep burning in the middle of the night
The rivers keep flowing like the tears from your eyes
You can still hear the voices of all those who died
They echo, they echo, like shots from a gun
They echo, they echo, like the rhythm of your drum
The rest of the world will expose all their lies
And all those you silenced will once again rise
For one hundred days, you could never see the sky
In the land of a thousand hills
For one hundred days, you could never see the sky
In the land of a thousand hills
In the land of a thousand hills
