A settlement is made

And all land is claimed

I was here first!

All the man say

A flag in the ground

A stick in the mud

They cheer for their blessings

As any Lord would

Laughing and striding

Feeling so high

Stabbing and slashing

With glee in their eyes

Wounding and maiming

Blood on the skin

Another man noticed

A woman within

Raping and pillage

Is what they all know

Humanity’s lowest

How far can we go?

It doesn’t stop there

My story of sight

For what I have witnessed

Would cause you such fright

When I was a child

No more than thirteen

I witnessed a horror

That should be unseen

I still hear the creaking

They come down the hall

Mother is crying

while father stands tall

The first man walks in

He’s holding a sword

I see father falling

No, mother, good lord!

They cut and they slay

They pray to the sky

Hurry, and leave

For if babies cry

They’ll take them and throw them

In rivers so deep

Mother stopped crying

We put her to sleep

I tell you this now

My child my dear

For I am too weary

And my time is near

Humanity’s favors

And all that has been

We must learn from the past

And hold love within
