We who survived the plague   We have nothing   We who survived the plague   We have nothing   We who survived the plague   We have nothing   We who survived the plague   We have nothing      Oh we have labored   We have toiled   Yes we cleared this land   That we farm   And now the nation   Whom we've fed   Looks upon us with scorn   And now the forest   The mighty forest   Shall return to conquer      Oh we are a mirror   A distant mirror   When you look at us you will see   All your dreams   Crushed upon the sea      Oh we have labored   We have toiled   Webuilt our cities of stone   We have died   We did not fail   We built our cities of stone   Yes we built our prisons   With their bars   We built the churches and spires   We built our palaces   And government houses   We built slums where we starve      Oh we are a mirror   A distant mirror   When you look at us you will see   All your dreams   Crushed upon the sea
