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
