Dominion
01:39
|
|||
let the flood swell
mythological reverence
cedes all trace of reason
and reaps false absolution
“behold our glorious destiny”
let the flood swell
let the blood swell
dominion and dominance
murderous hubris
if this pestilence is our end
we’ll wash this land free of sin
massacre without conscience
as chosen ones we must complete
god’s sacred goals of purity
ordained to crush this blasphemy
absolved

Assimilate
02:12
|
|||
purge their gods
obliterate their spirits
denigrate their sacraments
silence their tongues
banish ancient wisdom
eradicate their history
proclaim theirs backwards lives of beasts
fracture the family
desecrate communities
institutionalise neglect
a genocide to perfect
a century, a tower of bones
non compliance, perceived defiance
will be met with cruelty and violence
devastation, not assimilation
cultivating fear is our legacy we share
devastation's not assimilation
devastation's not civilization
forbid dignity, obliterate opportunity
desecrate, obliterate, forbid

Stolen
05:18
|
|||
numbered like cattle
legal wards of the state
inmates and slaves
a means to control
a so-called inferior race
an unconscionable fate
isolation/humiliation/submission
degradation/segregation/resignation
worked like dogs
electrocuted and restrained
so no dignity could remain
beat them black and blue
free labour to berate
stolen wards of the state
“nurture isn't their nature
their blood is tainted with failure”
was our mandate for torture
resistance comes with a prison sentence
led to believe they were orphaned, abandoned
internment camps always have mandatory attendance
submission
the key to cultural dominance
humiliation, isolation
destroying generations

Graveless
03:46
|
|||
mass graves
paint the landscapes of centuries
manifest destiny
meant usurping land by all means necessary
couldn’t begin to comprehend
how many died at the hands of our bretheren
buried bodies
entombed truths
unmarked graves
obscures our abuse
graveless
industrial schools
or death camps?
i don't think torture
counts as an education
if diseases of squalor didn’t claim life first
the clergy was happy to abide death’s thirst
the statesmen never had that much to say
the nightmare continues
institutions with new names
and our indifference is engrained
|

Labrats
03:02
|
|||
merely pawns of purposeful deprivation
left to starve and wither
not children, just experiments
left to fend infectious disease
contagion, another legion
germ warfare
“we’ll do best to extirpate this execrable race”
a human inconvenience forever erased
the gall is breathtaking, the entitlement is nauseating
carved and sullied
bled and bloodied
just labrats studied
the gall is breathtaking, the entitlement is nauseating
women carved and children starved
just labrats for our project
|

Silence
03:02
|
|||
isolate the mistakes
so discomfort isn't a part of your day
choose to look the other way and blame the victim
a tacit support
racism ignored
whitewashed narrative
a caste system
lacking the will to end centuries of violence
when self determination
is a figment of imagination
we're doomed to watch history repeating
your ignorance brings you bliss
never saw the story’s bullshit
privilege born of violence
privilege born of silence
|

Missing
03:10
|
|||
another woman’s missing and 1200s not a problem?
when the fuck will we wake up and call it like it is?
another man is missing and several thousand aren’t a problem?
when the fuck will we wake up and own it like it is?
violence begats violence
and the story never changes
violence begats violence
and the law sees only worthless time
the law sees only worthless time
crooked in their hearts
corrupted in their minds
trauma spanning centuries
forgotten children left to drown in the wake
until we see the forest for the trees
our hands are stained with blood
our conscience littered with bodies
the law sees worthless time
and our lives ignore it
each leaves love
adding to eons of loss
bodies without value
is she next?
we don’t care
the blood is on our hands
we don't care
why?
pure indifference
we don't care
|

Reconciliation?
04:44
|
|||
money doesn't heal wounds
ghosts are feasting on our apathy
and an official apology is empty when actions don't reflect words
when accompanied by hallow promises, opting out of duty
you can never really, these wounds will never mend
without acknowledgement
with no justice, there will be no peace
state violence and our compliance means no justice, no peace
stifling inquiries and withholding documents
it’s clear you have no interest in acknowledging your trespasses
divide and conquer
timelessly spineless
ignoring treaties
reconciliation is just a word to appease
still stealing land
“taming the west”
a caste system financed cos misery is business
these are human lives, not just stats
these are human lives not just your fucking stats
