Untitled (They crossed the oceans)

Untitled (They crossed the oceans)

Verse 1

They crossed the oceans and brought it to your land

They kneeled down and laid it at your feet

If only you were wise enough

You'd know that they were your enemy

Under the guise of brotherly love

Distorted realities came to be

Passing from one tribe to another

Like the manufacturing of a vehicle

Ancient truths were either hidden

Or simply lost to history

Modern customs were adopted

And now are the dominant beliefs

Verse 2

Between thighs and across the head

Along the rivers and into the heart

The ravenous ways of savages

Were much feared and greatly celebrated

The tears from fears and assault on the land

Gave way to new territories

Your bodies were ravaged from experiments

Afflicted upon you

Beating and slashing and killing

Were prevalent and normalized

Thirst for violence and hunger for peace

Created new divisions and goals

Verse 3

They crossed the oceans and brought it to your land

They kneeled down and laid it at your feet

Thirst for violence and hunger for peace

Created new divisions and goals

All things which are done in the dark

Will eventually come to light

Nothing is forgotten

The natural state of balance will be restored

Chorus

Lines on the ground are the scars of history

Fluids of the dead are marked

Within the ground of history

Past is present, present is future
