letra de pemulwuy - peter baxter
verse 1
pemulwuy stood on the edge of his world on a day like so many before
through the heads, the tall ships sailed and the world he had known was no more
anchors weighed the strangers stayed they struggled with the heat and the flies
the dirt, the stone, the blood and bone and the legend of pemulwuy
chorus
man of earth, man of sky, pemulwuy
the truth set free will never liе, pemulwuy
verse 2
pеmulwuy came from bidjigal land a land these strangers soon claimed
they’d come from a land of flags & hymns with diseases & rations of rum
ancient ways ancient laws dismissed with the stroke of a pen
they didn’t expect and would always regret the resistance of pemulwuy
chorus
man of earth, man of sky, pemulwuy
the truth set free will never lie, pemulwuy
verse 3
pemulwuy chose to make a stand organised his people too
from what he’d seen of the stranger’s law he knew there was no choice but war
the rumours flew, the stories grew about this man who said no
who couldn’t be shot, couldn’t be k!lled, could turn himself into a crow
chorus
fly away, fly away, pemulwuy
the truth set free will never lie, pemulwuy
verse 4
pemulwuy fought the changes that came challenged the strangers too
for fifteen years he rallied their fears nearly drove them back into the sea
their message was clear, their measure severe
their own countrymen shackled and chained
with hit and runs he cheated their guns the brave warrior pemulwuy
chorus
man of earth, man of sky, pemulwuy
the truth set free will never lie, pemulwuy
verse 5
pemulwuy lay by the side of the road a shot left him silent and numb
to prove he was dead they hacked off his head and left his remains in the sun
then silence conspired cold lies backfired, shadows they followed and flew
the chant had begun and the song that was sung was the death wish of pemulwuy
chorus
fly away, fly away, pemulwuy
the truth set free will never die, pemulwuy
fly away, fly away, pemulwuy
the truth set free will never die, pemulwuy
closed eyes can never see the deepest scars of history
