We are from water and to water we return
True believers baptized in the muddy surge
The water gives, the water takes, our children learn
We build our homes, we catch our food, respect we earn
The waters come, our land, our lives,our hopes submerge
We are from water and to water we return
Tears are cried, rain pours from skies, the waters churn
Both saint and sinner taken in unholy purge
The water gives, the water takes, our children learn
Displaced, divided, in our dreams of home we yearn
Diaspora upon us from this watery scourge
We are from water and to water we return
Persephone dragged back to Hell, another spurn
But as spring follows, just as surely we'll emerge
The water gives, the water takes, our children learn
Our eyes reflecting flames, we watch our water burn
God or man, upon our land the fates converge
We are from water and to water we return
The water gives, the water takes, our children learn.
