Promise after promise is broken 
as she lay dormant for so many years 
now we spill her blood once again 
fouling the oceans 
 
Her true children weep in silence 
then wash upon her shores 
in thousands 
as we turn the channel 
 
Unpunished and unchanged 
the butchers laugh at our apathy 
our leaders turn a blind eye 
their hands open 
 
God holds her crippled body 
and asks for her forgiveness 
that he would create such wretched creatures 
who lay waste to this gift given them 
their own
