Send back the uniforms!
Send back the generous reich!
Send us back to our lives
on the waving blue wild
and remove every mark
down to the waterline
and with your arms at your sides
turn homeward.
Over seas.
Over roads.
Over burning atolls.
Hurl your empire's crown
back in the heart
of the waves.
eber im lok jiktok ikerele
kot iban bok hartu jonan an elap ippa
Relay, relay the unquenchable song through the wire
where your horses alight
on the shores of our lives.
The world blooms for the last time.
Send back the generous reich!
Send us back to our lives
on the waving blue wild
and remove every mark
down to the waterline
and with your arms at your sides
turn homeward.
Over seas.
Over roads.
Over burning atolls.
Hurl your empire's crown
back in the heart
of the waves.
eber im lok jiktok ikerele
kot iban bok hartu jonan an elap ippa
Relay, relay the unquenchable song through the wire
where your horses alight
on the shores of our lives.
The world blooms for the last time.

The song's (and album's) overarching message is, "Go home colonialists!" "Burning atolls" is probably a reference to the atomic tests conducted on various South Pacific islands. (It might be a reference to the whaleship Essex, but that's a stretch.)
"Eber im lok" etc. is another quote from the Bikinian anthem, a sample of which opens the album.
"The world blooms for the last time" is probably a reference to the destruction of the micro-cultures, like those of pacific islands. The diversity of human cultures and lifestyles decreased catastrophically over the last two centures, but particularly in the last one.
