The Fever Tree Lyrics
Now the mourners file in, let the ceremony begin
Unlock the rape gate to your childhood country
To the slow hand war
Their wrath had made scavengers of us all
And stripped us off our pride and honourable fall
Their wrath has reduced us to thieves once and for all
Now your clouds are aching, aching with rain
Their laws are browned with age
And so I lay shivering in the wet shade of the fever tree
All paled with the waste of it all
We all felt Rhodesias youth ebbing away
Leopard-crawling in the dust and thorns
Unlock the rape gate to your childhood country
To the slow hand war
Their wrath had made scavengers of us all
And stripped us off our pride and honourable fall
Their wrath has reduced us to thieves once and for all
Their laws are browned with age
And so I lay shivering in the wet shade of the fever tree
All paled with the waste of it all
Leopard-crawling in the dust and thorns
