[Verse]
DIt rises in the sunlight, Silver domes upon our sand
Aencircled by the wire like a blight upon our lGandA  
and to the Dpeople of the dreaming, who's sacred land this is
must wonder wGho this uncle SAam could be, and to thGink that it coAuld be hDis.
[chorus]
And for the siAlver that these men have paid, who tGhink they own this laDnd
it is the sAilver of Iscariot, the siGlver of the dAammed
it is pDart of the accounting in wGhich we all must pAay 
for trading Din our children's fBmutures, for false GpromiAses tDoday 
[Verse]
DBecause this land belongs to dreaming, and the people are its own
Athey have lived there fifty thousand years, this desert it's their hGomeA  
and the wDoman go a weeping, and a wailing for it's loss
and I jGoin them in their griAeving , and in the couGnting oAf the coDst.
[chorus]
And for the siAlver that these men have paid, who tGhink they own this laDnd
it is the sAilver of Iscariot, the siGlver of the dAammed
it is pDart of the accounting in wGhich we all must pAay 
for trading Din our children's fBmutures, for false GpromiAses tDoday 
[verse]
And the mDines from which their poison comes sits cold beneath our stars
for the laAndscapes they have ravaged will forever bear the sGcars A  
DRoxby Ranger Jabaluka will be words that conjure shame
because the sGpark they help to kiAndle, It will iGgnite the dAevils flDames
[chorus]
And for the siAlver that these men have paid, who tGhink they own this laDnd
it is the sAilver of Iscariot, the siGlver of the dAammed
it is pDart of the accounting in wGhich we all must pAay
