Dear brother  
Dear sister  
Can you hear the constant chimes?  
The division bell is ringing  
Time to choose a side.Woolshed fence and creek  
Pasture and valley  
Hearken brave strong souls  
For history's gifts are many.Our mates across the ditch  
The call of brave young Anzacs  
For love and life begotten  
The gift you gave to us   
Will ne'er be forgotten!On ships of cold Grey steel  
Our boys they did take flight  
The Southern Cross ablaze  
Swinging in the night.You died in freedom's cause  
Writ large on history's pages  
While Southern Mothers' grief  
Resounds across the ages.The division bell is tolling  
It tolls for you and me  
Do not be torn asunder   
By the needle and the free.Be koind! Be koind!  
Your hearts are empty holes  
Our mothers  
Bear the silence   
Imprisoned in their homes.That angry pig Molloy Soy-latte-swilling Tame Jessica and Tova Give it up ya bloody fools! Ya rotten grift is over. Freedom's gift is precious Be Fearful of the State! Freedom's smiling assassin Your single Source of hate.Know this! And know it well There is a Place in Hell For those tyrannical imposters Who ring The division bell.
