Songteksten
Taken from
Everything they knew and taken to
Strange territory and cruelty
Horrific conditions atrocity
Hidden away from our history
It's hard to believe
The evidence unearthed for all us to see
But we can't deny the loss of their lives
Back in 1870 to well past 1995
Those behind this
Tragic story
Will be punished
One way or the other
They will pay for
All the suffering
They inflicted
Be it on Earth or in Hell or both
Here and now
New graves are discovered everyday
Underneath institutions of pain
Buried when life has been stripped away
Left and forgotten until today
I can't comprehend
The reasons to put all those lives to an end
In the ways they did with malicious intent
Torture and rape used as regular consequence
Those behind this
Tragic story
Will be punished
One way or the other
They will pay for
All the suffering
They inflicted
Be it on Earth or in Hell or both
Recognize, remember
Every 30th of September
(Recognize, remember)
(Every 30th of September)
We reflect
In solemn fashion we pay respect
To all the victims of their neglect
Despicable actions a culture wrecked
We can't forgive and we won't forget
I still can't believe
This took place for over a century
And the shame the guilt for the blood that was spilt
Goddamn the motherfucking government who passed the bill
Those behind this
Tragic story
Will be punished
One way or the other
They will pay for
All the suffering
They inflicted
Be it on Earth or in Hell or both
