|
The world was given by his hold grace |
|
the hand of god must touch upon that place |
|
we can't allow that kind of primitive |
|
show them the book and teach them how to live |
|
Their words were strange we didn't understand |
|
two men in black who had a holy man |
|
they said that we must hear their sacred verse |
|
we didn't know if we were blessed or cursed |
|
They said they'd come - they would build a road |
|
we'll burn your trees down we'll give you clothes |
|
teach your children how to read and write |
|
our God will watch you each and every night |
|
we didn't want their God we had the sun |
|
our spirits moved inside of every one |
|
They were sleeping |
|
They runed their light upon our innocence |
|
gave us pain - gave us no release |
|
we offered flowers to our spirit guide |
|
can you help us for me must decide |
|
Are we sleeping |
|
The answer came we heard it in the wind |
|
these men have lied and you have never sinned |
|
they're men like you - they know no better way |
|
give them to me upon their seventh day |
|
When they're sleeping |
|
And so it happened on the seventh night |
|
when the moon was shining high and bright |
|
our people took them like the message said |
|
our spirit happy that their god was dead |
|
Now they're sleeping |
