lyrics

Many moons have past
Since we dirtied our hands last
The fruit on the tree
No longer falls to become seed
Demeter cries
Persephone's gone now for all times

The grain has died in the field
The vines up high give us no more yield
The milk it never flows
From our goats that turned to bones
Our stores are gone
We've taken to much for too long

We cannot plow the land
It's black and it's covered with sand
We cannot live off the land
Our mother can no longer stand
Oh, oh, sook, sook, sook oh, oh, oh

The cows will never come home
They've left us all alone
We used to sit on a throne
But now we're gone
Oh, oh, sook, sook, sook oh, oh, oh
