about
Originally written some time ago about the fate of Tibetan nomads caught up in Chinese nuclear testing on the tundra of the Tibetan plateau ( with consequences similar in many ways to events in Maralinga), when we first played this track for the recording earlier this year we were reminded of current events in the Ukraine, of victims again to the brutality of yet another tyranny.
Our hearts go out to you all."
lyrics
Brother where are y’ bound?
Your sister’s in the ground
Where are you bound?
Needles in the snow
I wonder if you know
Where will you go now?
Brother where are y’bound?
Your sister’s in the ground
Where are you bound?
Brother where are y’ bound?
All your children in the ground
Where are you bound?
Brighter than the sun
And wandering alone
Are you the only one now?
Brother where are y’bound?
Your children in the ground
Where are you bound?
Ashes in the snow now
Ashes oh in the snow
Brother where are you bound?
Snow blind the only sound
Where are you bound?
Across the icy plains
Ashes on the moraine
Oh it falls like rain
Brother where are y’bound?
Snow blind the only sound
Where are you bound?
Ashes in the snow now
Ashes oh in the snow
Ashes in the snow now..
Brother where are y’ bound?
All your people is in the ground
Where are you bound ?
White on white again
Sunrise that shines again
Lights up your pain
Brother where are y’bound?
All your people in the ground
Where are you bound?
Brother where are y’bound?
All your people in the ground
Where are you bound?
Ashes in the snow now
Ashes oh in the snow
Ashes in the snow now
Ashes oh in the snow
