Demons descended upon the lands
The fire of greed burned within their minds
They destroyed the paradise that filled their eyes
From the east they swarmed to pillage, to populate the righteous under siege
The stream of invaders rose into a raging flood
Now the arrow shaft lays broken where the grasses dripped with blood
Unavenged apparitions of the dead walk down this trail of tears that never ends
Conquered by the sword, by treaties that were lies
Millions perished in the wars for their genocide
Decimated by manifest destiny
Tortured and enslaved in the name of christianity
The stream rose into a raging flood
Now the arrow shaft lays broken where the grasses dripped with blood
Unavenged apparitions of the dead walk down this trail of tears that never ends
Manifest destiny prevails
Felled their rainforests, flood their lands
Ancient cultures destroyed by so-called civilized man
The tribal peoples of today; survival is at stake
History means nothing if nothing's learned from past mistakes
Stop the unseen holocaust.
