I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognise the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. I pay my respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and to Elders both past and present. • Peter • Pemulwuy • Written by Peter Baxter. • Produced by David Bridie. • Recorded by Andy Robinson at Haus Bilas Studios Melbourne, Australia and Ventry Studios Dublin, Ireland • Mixed by Andy Robinson • Mastered by Simon Polinski • Vocals: Peter Baxter • Piano and keyboards: David Bridie • Backing vocals: Jida Gulpilil, David Bridie and Amy Chapman • Electric guitar: John Phillips and Phil Wales • Acoustic guitar: Dónal Lunny • Viola: Sinead Madden • Programming: Andy Robinson • Original session engineered by Dave McCune • Artwork by Frank McCleod https://www.artstation.com/frankmcleod • Lyrics • Pemulwuy stood on the edge of his world on a day like so many before • Through the heads, the tall ships sailed and the world he had known was no more • Anchors weighed the strangers stayed, they struggled with the heat and the flies • The dirt, the stone, the blood and bone and the legend of Pemulwuy • Man of earth, man of sky, Pemulwuy. • The truth set free will never lie, Pemulwuy • Pemulwuy came from Bidjigal land a land these strangers soon claimed • They’d come from a land of flags hymns with diseases rations of rum • Ancient ways ancient laws dismissed with the stroke of a pen • They didn’t expect and would always regret the resistance of Pemulwuy • Man of earth, man of sky, Pemulwuy. • The truth set free will never lie, Pemulwuy • Pemulwuy chose to make a stand organised his people too • From what he’d seen of the stranger's law he knew there was no choice but war • The rumours flew, the stories grew about this man who said no • Who couldn’t be shot, couldn’t be killed, could turn himself into a crow • Fly away, fly away, Pemulwuy • The truth set free will never lie, Pemulwuy • Pemulwuy fought the changes that came challenged the strangers too • For fifteen years he rallied their fears nearly drove them back into the sea • Their message was clear, their measure severe • their own countrymen shackled and chained • With hit and runs he cheated their guns the brave warrior Pemulwuy • Man of earth, man of sky, Pemulwuy. • The truth set free will never lie, Pemulwuy • Pemulwuy lay by the side of the road a shot left him silent and numb • To prove he was dead they hacked off his head and left his remains in the sun • Then silence conspired cold lies backfired, shadows they followed and flew • The chant had begun and the song that was sung was the death wish of Pemulwuy • Fly away, fly away, Pemulwuy. • The truth set free will never die, Pemulwuy • Closed eyes can never see the deepest scars of history
