lyrics

ROAD TO DAMASCUS (JOURNEY TO BUNYA)

The whorehouse is a burnin’
Pigdogs are a barkin’
Watching you swimming
Soon to be flying.

Damascus is crying
For there’s a chain on his ankle
Tried to break it for him
But the north was calling.

Those lights surely led us there
Jordan River dry and bare
Time now to sit and listen
Heed to the drover’s lesson.

Listen to the Whistling Kite
Banuba ghost howls nearby
I listen closely for your call
The Sea Eagle fly’s, she never falls.

She came from the Bunya Mountains
No prouder woman to see
I offered her a ring, but she thought it a sin
To marry a rambler like me.


The whorehouse is burnin’
Pigdog sticks the knife in
Eyes start to grinning
Soon to be cryin’
Soon to be lyin’
To me.

Lord! Damascus is dying!
For there’s a bomb in her kitchen
And the Eagle keeps on flying
Mumma’s kitchen burnin’
As the world keeps on turning
On me.

She came from the Bunya Mountains
No prouder woman to see
I offered a ring, but she thought it a sin…

To marry a rambler like me.


END.

Journey To Bunya

ROAD TO DAMASCUS is written for and dedicated to the struggle of Indigenous peoples across the Australian continent.
Under attack is their INALIENABLE rights as custodians of the sacred land upon which this music was written, recorded and is dedicated to. Destruction of their culture, language, traditions and spiritual customs is ongoing.
THUS THE GENOCIDE CONTINUES.

Which side are you on?

ALWAYS WAS ALWAYS WILL BE
