Goodbye To The Village Lyrics - Brighter Than A Thousand Suns - Killing Joke

Around the strangers moved, the shouts I felt within 

New panoramas seen (I loved it as it was). 

Forests of pylons built, the scaffolding is raised 

And how the men pursue their worrk 

They act convinced of freedom. 

Crossed over by the bridge 

The brook was running ill. 

We recognised the place - places we knew as children 

We wept upon the sight, and progress tore our hearts 

Fences divide the land, homes boxed like rabbit hutches.

Goodbye to the village 

Goodbye to the village 

Where soil will not provide, no king and land are one 

Monopolise the holy ground, all that we hold as sacred 

No harvest moon shall rise, no valley homestead seen 

And now the cities never end, and how the cities stretch forever 

And in the morning promise me great times will come again 

And the homelands in our hearts will never fade away 

Let the legends promise me the earth shall rise again 

And homelands in the hearts of men shall never fade away. 

Goodbye to the village 

Goodbye to the village 

Goodbye to the village 

Goodbye to the village
