Leave the souls
INTHE ground
In the ground
In the ground
Leave the souls
INTHE ground
in the ground...
Our ancestors below
Calling out to us
Cradled by the earth
In the permafrost
In the ground
INTHE ground
Leave the oil
INTHE ground
In the ground
In the ground
Leave the souls
INTHE ground
in the ground...
Our ancestors below
Calling out to us
Cradled with the gold
In the permafrost
In the ground
INTHE ground
