Kosciusko Lyrics

Kosciusko lyrics

Older the Kosciusko

Darwin down to Alice Springs

Dealers in the clearinghouse

The settlements explode



High up in the homelands

Miners drive across the land

Encounter no resistance

When the people block the road

Older than Kosciusko

Dry white seasonns years ago

Darkness over Charleville

The fires begin to glow



CHORUS

No end to the hostility

Now they wanna be somewhere else

No stranger to brutality

Now they'd like to be someone else



Older than Kosciusko

Driver back to Alice Springs

Endless storm and struggle

Marks the spirit of the age



High up in the homelands

Celebration 'cross the land

Builds up like a cyclone

Now the fires begin to rage



CHORUS



Call off the ultimatum

No don't turn away

Call off the ultimatum until yesterday

Call off the ultimatum, no don't turn away

Bind up the brokenhearted

No don't turn away



Call off the ultimatum until yesterday
