Skyclad - Trance Dance (a Dreamtime Walkabout) lyrics

Where the past meets the present we walk hand in hand, Barefoot and naked--but kings of our land, The souls of my forefathers course through my veins as I watch the sun sink 'neath these ancestral plains. Outcast in the outback--forgotten by time, Lie the fragile remains of a world that was mine. What money could not buy--the strong chose to steal, To them power and riches were all that was real. Then sold into slavery (iron-ore digger), I am your 'abbo'--your lacky--your 'n******g.' Awaken the neo-neanderthal man that sleeps within all of us touched by his hand, He's the last grain of hope left unspoilt by our games--so tread soft in his footsteps and whisper his name. A DREAMTIME WALKABOUT--is all that remains of the past, A DREAMTIME WALKABOUT--the 'missing link' holds the chain fast. Watch us skip the dark fantastic--silhouettes against the sky, Bodies bathed in starlit twilight--high above our spirits fly. Every picture tells a tale of hidden wisdom they have found, Man is just a part of nature--not the other way around. This 'savage' nobility rule without thrones, And by birthright inherit things we'll never own. Though progress encroaches--the last of their kind still reach from their bodies with prehensile minds. We sons of the wilderness--unchained and free, Cast our spirits to fly with the birds through the trees. (See a bloodline that extends from Genesis to fiery end). Over bushland and billabong astral forms soar-- 'Til the therms of our pa**ion can bear us no more. (Its shadow cast upon the land still undefiled by human hand). Unaware what you search for is already mine. Awaken the neo-neanderthal man that sleeps within all of us touched by his hand, He's the last grain of hope left unspoilt by our games--so tread soft in his footsteps and whisper his name. A DREAMTIME WALKABOUT--is all that remains of the past, A DREAMTIME WALKABOUT--the 'missing link' holds the chain fast. As you cower in concrete boxes--sheltered from the light of day, Pause a moment (stop and wonder)--who's most savage you or they? Every picture tells a tale of hidden wisdom they have found, Man is just a part of nature--not the other way around.
