[Verse 1] They sailed from the shores of a distant land, Clutching their Bibles in their hands. Dreams of freedom, their guiding light, But shadows followed through the night. [Verse 2] For every prayer they raised to the skies, There was a darker truth hid in their eyes They ignored the native American's cries Their christian values they chose to denigh [Chorus] Oh, the price of freedom, how high it ran, Was paid in the blood of those on the land Built on the backs of the bound and chained And the earth they took, forever stained With the slaughter of the natives in fights In their hearts and minds it was only right [Verse 3] They broke the soil with a hardened will, Plowed through the lives they chose to kill. The native tongues fell silent and cold, As treaties crumbled as land was stole [Verse4] The hymns they sang in the chapel's glow Drowned out the cries from them below They held their Bibles high as they marched Killing and stealing holding their flaming torch [Chorus] [Verse 5] Now they hold sacred this blood stained land With blood of slaves and natives on their hands A christian nation christian values we're told All while their racism and bigotry is bold [Chorus] [Fade to end]
