[Verse]
Red dirt veins run deep in the crust
Out here trust turns brittle to dust
Kangaroo stares, a mirror of my stare
Sun bleeds gold, my skin learns to wear
Snakes in the grass, whispers in the trees
Breath hangs sharp, cuttin’ like thieves
Dingo howls, my anthem, my hymn
Echo of a struggle buried within
[Chorus]
This land’s a bite, a scratch, a feast
Reclaim my piece, my spirit unleashed
The motherland calls, her voice don’t cease
This fight ain't loud, but it’s never at peace
[Verse 2]
Boomerang arcs, sharp as my tongue
Words hit targets, no matter where flung
Fenceposts crack, boundaries break
Every inch fought, every soul awake
River runs dry, stories still flow
Ghost gum shadows, truth they show
Watch for the croc, hidden in plain sight
Danger lurks soft in the cover of night
[Chorus]
This land’s a bite, a scratch, a feast
Reclaim my piece, my spirit unleashed
The motherland calls, her voice don’t cease
This fight ain't loud, but it’s never at peace
