Aus Land of the Brave, Song 10 von 21
Blasted Hills (Broken Homes)
„Blasted Hills, Broken Homes“ ist ein trauriger Protest gegen die Zerstörung von Land und Gemeinschaft durch den industriellen Bergbau. Er erzählt von einem einst blühenden Ort, der nicht wiederzuerkennen ist: vergiftete Bäche, zerstörte Häuser und tiefe seelische Narben. Schmerzhaft klar fragt der Song nach dem Preis des profitgetriebenen Fortschritts und zeigt eine Landschaft und Menschen, die für immer verändert sind.

Dynamite at morning light
Takes the ridge, steals the height
Mountains carved with careless hand
Just to mine what won't withstand
The stream ran sweet, now runs like oil
Black with grief from poisoned soil
Porch swings gone, the ground gave way
To cracks no roof can keep at bay
"Blasted hills, broken homes"
What we had
Now just stones
"Blasted hills, broken homes"
Left behind
Where green once shone
Dust coats every breath we take
Nothing grows, and rivers ache
They say it's work, they say it's life
But all it brings is silent strife
"Blasted hills, broken homes"
What we had
Now just stones
"Blasted hills, broken homes"
Left behind
Where green once shone
Mama’s grave on dusty land
Shakes each time the drills expand
We pray to stay, they pay to leave
And all that’s left is ghosts and grief
"Blasted hills, broken homes"
What we had
Now just stones
"Blasted hills, broken homes"
Left behind
Where green once shone
The earth remembers every scar
And wonders why we dug so far
