Black Hills - Lyrics - Pain Of Salvation

Pain of Salvation is a Swedish progressive metal rock band led by Daniel GildenlÃ¶w, who is the band's main songwriter, lyricist, guitarist, and vocalist. Pain of Salvation's sound is characterised by riff-oriented guitar work, a broad vocal range, oscillation between heavy and calm passages, syncopation, and polyrhythms. Thus far, every album released by the band has been a concept album. Lyrically, the band tends to address contemporary issues, such as sexuality, war, the environment, and the nature of God, humanity, and existence.

This was our home We had our truth Bled for our creed Why must we still bleed? Your tailings are bound Forever in this ground So you come for our holy ground When your nature's gone and your house has burnt down No! For hundreds of years You've hurt this land Eating what's there Leaving a wasteland But there is no space To hold all your mistakes Still you come for our holy ground When your nature's gone and your houses are all burnt down
