The Coffin Ships of Acadia (アカディアの棺桶船)

[Intro: Sound of heavy iron chains dragging, The splash of oars, A cold sea wind] ​[Verse 1: Monotone Spoken Word] "They didn't call it a 'departure.' It was an extraction. The Acadians, the brothers of the forest, were herded like beasts into the dark bellies of the ships. They left behind the dikes they built with their sweat, and the Mi'kmaq friends they loved with their souls." ​[Verse 2: Monotone Spoken Word] "Down in the holds, where the air was a poison. No light, no hope, only the smell of death and the sound of the Atlantic clawing at the wood. They sang hymns in French and whispered names in Mi'kmaq, dying in the dark while the King’s flags fluttered above." ​[Verse 3: Intense, Choking voice] "The guardians are gone! The dikes are broken! The 'Coffin Ships' are sailing on a sea of tears! While the Mi'kmaq watched from the pines, their heart was ripped out and thrown into the deep. This was the opening act for the great scam—clearing the stage with a graveyard." ​[Outro: A single violin note stretches thin and breaks. The sound of a heavy wooden hatch slamming shut.] ​[Final Message: Gentle Whisper] "Do you hear the ghosts beneath the waves?" ​[End] [Stop]
