    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
