Van Diemen's Land

Head due south to the ice and snow,
East, the way the winds will blow,
Over the mountains the māori all roam,
Van Diemen will show you the way home.

West leads on through the endless seas
Where boat, ship nor vessel may pass through with ease
Van Diemen looks on and laughs for he
Cares naught but for the foreign lands he seeks

Vandemonians united at last
This story i tell you to remember our past
United by shackles of blood and steel
This ruinous island will forever outlast

He Seeks the place of toil and doom
Caves there are those that loom
Forever cold both through and through.
Forever banished, alone, but true.

Vandemonian is the state of terror
That fills the hearts of those that wither
Do not expect to leave unhindered
Nor glimpse a sky of stormless weather

Vandemonians united at last
This story i tell you remember our past
United by shackles of blood and steel
This ruinous island will forever outlast

For those who faltered in trade or trow
Were sent away with fear and by fowl
On to a ship sent way down south
To the apple isle those can not doubt

Burn all the crosses your god is not welcome,
they'll drag you to hell just you try and stop them

Send all your forces for they shall sure forfeit
their lives and their pride so burn all your crosses.

Vandemonians united at last
This story i tell you to remember our past
United by shackles of blood and steel
This ruinous island will forever outlast
