about

Old Bended Knee is the translation of the Wathaurong word Buninyong. A wounded warrior and lover down on his knee. This song comes from the musical called the “Story of Buninyong” and sings of the moment when the mountain erupts.

lyrics

Old Bended Knee

Booming in a deep voice
“I've had enough,
No more Mr Nice Guy”
Time to talk tough

Trees shake and stumble
Grounds swells and breaks
Wrap him up a present
Before it gets too late

Buninyong gets mad
Old bended knee
Gravel in his guts
He wants apology
Hot bomb potatoes
Falling down like hail
Make a mountain angry
His lava licks your tail

Run with your head turned
Don’t take a breathe
All the air and all the earth
Is erupting into death
