Oppressed Purrs - Mercury River Lyrics

The Derwent is f*cked feel the filth in the air
Fish got poisoned minds can't live on their fare
Mercury madness poisons shy and bold
Hell in the water worth more than gold

Factories bleeding dumping all their sins
Fish hooks empty and nobody wins
Swim in the sludge feel the infection on your chest
Breathe in the chemicals and forget the rest

Derwent River what are you fighting for
Toxic beauty killing life to the core
Poison in the waters can't find the shore
Mercury river can't eat the fish anymore

Net full of nothing just pollution and grime
Governments silent it's a damn crime
Fish scales poisoned silver ain't so sweet
Derwent's a graveyard where the water met defeat

Tides reflect betrayal in the moon's pale light
Lost hope sinking in the dead of night
Streets echo silence nobody dares speak
Mercury whispers break the strong and the weak

Derwent River what are you fighting for
Toxic beauty killing life to the core
Poison in the waters can't find the shore
Mercury river can't eat the fish anymore

Can we follow
Can we fight it
