[Verse 1]

Darkened clouds rolling over the valley

Sparked the resting flame

Earth has come to claim her country

Screaming out for rain

Thunder's fixed on the battle drum pounding

Summoning the lightning strike

One by one around me gathered

Waiting for the first light

Oh, I don't know when the wind'll turn

Oh, 82 fires still burn

[Verse 2]

Raised two boys of in the land of my fathers

Tending crops in the fertile fields

Through depth, flood, frost and fire

Only took what the land could yield

We heard old tales of 82 fires

Smoke turned day to night

And legends told there would come a time

When they return with all of their might

Oh, I don't know when the wind'll turn

Oh, 82 fires still burn

(Oh)

(Oh)

(Oh)

(Oh)

[Verse 3]

The clearing's quiet, the heir's been taken

To the furnace over the rise

The last red sun has been shredded

By the smoke that stings our eyes

We always knew that on this land

We would live and die

But here we stand amoung 82 fires

Speak our breathless goodbye

Oh, I don't know when the wind'll turn

Oh, 82 fires still burn

Oh, I don't know when the wind'll turn

Oh, 82 fires still burn

(Oh)

(Oh)

(Oh)

(Oh)
