On Battleship Hill [Demo]
Polly Harvey
The scent of thyme carried on the wind
Stings my face into remembering
Cruel nature has won again
Cruel nature has won again
On Battleship Hill's caved in trenches
A hateful feeling still lingers
Even now, eighty years later
Cruel nature
Cruel, cruel nature
The land returns to how it has always been
Thyme carried on the wind
Jagged mountains, jutting out
Crag-like teeth in a rotten mouth
On Battleship Hill, I hear the wind
Saying, "Cruel nature has won again"
Cruel nature has won again
Cruel nature has won again
Cruel nature has won again
