Red Barked Trees - Wire

Find yourself in opposition

Rid yourself of superstitions

Deploy a mask, get night time vision

Safety off, get in position

A mother’s guilt, a daughter’s pain

The father failed to take the blame

The search is on, in southern seas

To find the healing, red barked trees

A day of pain, of push and shove

A hidden strength in velvet gloves

Sky writing planes sketch oaths above

In graphic loops an act of love

Traders rampage, on the loose

Dealers howl and hurl abuse

The market growls it eats the weak

Buys children farms in busy streets

A privileged few, a charmed elite

Can slash and burn as they retreat

The search is on, in southern seas

To find the healing, red barked trees
