Song | The Donner Party |
Artist | Rasputina |
Album | Thanks for the Ether |
作曲 : Creager | |
The similarities and situation | |
Between the | |
Donner party and the colonial pilgrims | |
Is both appalling, frightening, and incomplete | |
In both cases, you'll find one | |
A fairly large group of ill prepared green horns | |
Pitting themselves against nature and each other | |
Two, an insufficient willingness to endure | |
The very real hardships of frontiering | |
And three coincidental misfortune at every turn | |
Number three coincidental misfortune at every turn | |
Disasters of both camps were initially | |
Brought about by departure, delay and desert, inertia | |
Which caused our heroes to begin their journeys | |
At absolutely retarded times weather wise | |
If fantasy is the refuge of a frightened man | |
And a castle in the air is a safe harbor for a foolish few | |
Just imagine living in a hut buried twelve feet below the snow | |
With the sight and smell of the scattered carcasses | |
Of loved ones at your feet | |
It is the lay of the land, just another day | |
I would like to propose that cannibalism was indeed rampant | |
Among America's earliest settlers the pilgrims | |
Who?The pilgrims | |
For what does settler imply, if not the willingness to settle? | |
To settle for a meal of human flesh if my thoughts on the subject | |
Are to be believed | |
In conclusion, spread the word of this | |
Look to the night sky, and hark back to our forefathers' shortcomings | |
And your own | |
As you cut your meat and lay the groundwork for a new tomorrow |
