Warpath

V1

They like to claim it was the Natives on the warpath, threatening our nation
but in truth it was the invaders who were at war with the Natives
trying to wipe out their cultures while forcing assimilation
as 2nd class citizens for the indigenous populations
those resisting were forced to give up their land or they killed them
craving their natural resources, they did anything to get them
enslavement for the men and sex slavery for the women
their colonies in the Americas and Australia had this system, cuz...

1st Bridge

Rich Europeans and their descendants
did this for centuries during Colonialism
when the indigenous people would fight against them
the colonists would start pretending that they're the victims, but...

1st Chorus

How do you steal entire continents?
How do you steal entire continents?
How do you kill off their inhabitants
then claim that you're the victims?

V2

I bet they never told you Europeans were scalping since the Romans
and both the colonists and the Natives scalped each other for tokens
in fact, both the Mexican and American governments
offered bounties for scalping Natives until the late 1800's
Cromwell sent thousands of Irish to Barbados through slavery
and Natives were also enslaved until the 1780's
the South American colonies only stopped cuz the Vatican
said the only righteous form of slavery was that of Africans

2nd Bridge

Adopting the Talmud's Curse of Canaan
virtually all Abrahamic denominations
claimed black people were destined for this enslavement
enabling many racists for generations, but...

2nd Chorus

How do you build slave colonies?
How do you keep slave colonies
like Jamaica, Barbados, and Haiti?
then claim that you're believers, huh?

I would think they'd know
(Tell me why so many had to die?)
But the less they know
(the more that they can lie)

3rd Verse

When the Somersett Case in 1772 ended slavery in England,
abolitionists tried to extend this throughout the British Kingdom
only then did our wealthy, slave owning, men of business
and their Freemason friends decide to fight for independence
later called “the Founding Fathers”, they cried for rights and liberty
even though they oppressed the Natives, blacks were slaves, and women were property
and most white males were workers or indentured servants
that couldn’t vote but the Founders needed their numbers for their purpose
using war propaganda, they launched a successful rebellion
by convincing workers to join them even though those who helped them
still had no voice under the Articles of Confederation
but the Founders got their nation, now they could set their sights on the Natives, so…

3rd Bridge

Then they continued with their invasion
Breaking the will of the Natives through subjugation
Taking their sacred lands, no compensation
Defaced them with plantations and mining operations

3rd Chorus

How did you think they built this country?
How did you think they made their money?
On the backs of slaves and those in poverty
Then act like nothing happened, but…

I would think they'd know
(Tell me why so many had to die?)
But the less they know
(the more that they can lie)

I would think they'd know
(Tell me why so many had to die?)
But the less they know
(the more that they can lie)
