White man did come across the sea
Brought us pain and misery
Will we find the strength to break free?
Only good indians are dead they say
We said fuck that and continued to pray
Couldn't kill us off, long live our ways
No longer will we be blind
To white words that corrupt our minds
Kill the man, save the indian
Kill the man, save the indian
Some of us have stayed strong
But there are those who are too far gone
Words aren’t ever gonna right these wrongs
Our whole lives conditioned and told
That our existence could be bought and sold
But we can never be controlled
No longer will we be blind
To white words that corrupt our minds
Kill the man, save the indian
Kill the man, save the indian
Save the indian
Save the indian
Save the indian
Save the indian
Save the indian
Save the indian

Manifest Death
04:20
|

How the fuck can you claim
Something that's not yours?
Didn't your ships just land
Upon these ancient shores?
Fuck your founding fathers'
Fabricated holy right
Thinking you can take anything
Just because you're white
Manifest destiny
Sentencing death to me
False justification
Death from sea to shining sea
Mass removal, stolen lands
Just for new white folk
Government funded genocide
Our history's no joke
Manifest destiny
Sentencing death to me
False justification
Death from sea to shining sea
Drew all of these arbitrary lines
Built all of these anglo shrines
English is a foreign language
Delivered us perpetual anguish
Policies and treaties vague
Infested us like a goddamn plague
Remember that in this conquest
You're still our uninvited guest

C.I.B. (Cease In Being)
04:14
|
|||
Not so long ago we surrendered
Had to watch our world torn asunder
Issued certificates to track our extinction
Defined by the degree, went against tradition
C.I.B.
Our cease in being
Never goes up
Only comes down
You realize
It's a disguise?
The perfect tool
For our demise
Names were taken, new ones given
Enslaved us into their religion
Old ways nearly died after they arrived
Our culture neglected and deprived
C.I.B.
Our cease in being
Never goes up
Only comes down
You realize
It's a disguise?
The perfect tool
For our demise
C.I.B.
Our cease in being
Never goes up
Only comes down
You realize
It's a disguise?
The perfect tool
For our demise
They really dont give a fuck about us
To them were nothing but a number
Fuck your data and fuck your numbers
Fuck your system and fuck your laws too

Pseudo Savior
04:56
|
|||
Go ahead and condemn me to hell
Satan's done more than your god ever will
He could not accept me for who I am
Thinking maybe I'd be better off damned
Why would I adopt the beliefs of my oppressor?
When that ideology fortified killings
With God as your commander?
First you killed us to take the land
Then you killed us to save the man
Since your savior rose again
This has always been the master plan
It will never be written in history
But the church cannot hide it’s inhumanity
No father all is not forgiven, nor forgotten
Murderous colonizers, you've begotten
Children beaten for speaking their tongue
And singing their song
Traumatized and afraid
Now our languages are no longer passed on
First you killed us to take the land
Then you killed us to save the man
Since your savior rose again
This has always been the master plan
He's the inspiration for assimilation
Our obliteration
You are the enabler of my erasure
Your god is the devil, my pseudo savior
I will not pray
To My annihilator
I will not pray
To my pseudo savior
I will not pray
To My annihilator
I will not pray
To my pseudo savior

White Noise
06:14
|
|||
An ever present terror looming
From the inside, fucking with my mind
It’s purpose all consuming
Eating us alive
It lives in these words we speak
And the thoughts that we think
There's no chance of escape
It wants you to suffocate
There's no silencing
This white noise
The worst thing about it is
It's always there, living nightmare
No matter what you do
It’s too much to bear
It lives in these words we speak
And the thoughts we think
There's no chance of escape
It wants you to suffocate
There's no silencing
This white noise
It's all we hear
It's all we see
White noise
Emissary of all fear
Don't try and cover your ears
Even when you think it's gone
Your deceit it feeds on
Comes back louder than ever
You cannot hold it together
Still alive, but dead inside
Hallowed out, we are all
Prisoners of white noise
Drowning out everlasting cries
White noise never dies
It lives in these words we speak
And the thoughts we think
There's no chance of escape
It wants you to suffocate
There's no silencing
This white noise

Sellout
05:42
|
|||
Why can’t you just admit that you're lost?
Sold us out, our sacrifice is the cost
Like treasonous scouts you've become
Ch’iidi diigis, yadilah you piece of scum
You have taken this way too far
See the lives you continue to scar
What happened to your honor and pride?
Sellout, you're no friend of mine
Sellout, you don't belong
Sellout, are you gonna right all of your wrongs?
Sellout, you're no friend of mine
Sellout you don't belong
Sellout, you've been a mindless puppet all along
Money and power are no excuse
To turn your back away from the abuse
What good is being a token
While the rest of us remain broken
What happened to keeping us alive?
Sellout, you're no friend of mine
Sellout, you don't belong
Sellout, are you gonna right all of your wrongs?
Sellout, you're no friend of mine
Sellout you don't belong
Sellout, you've been a mindless puppet all along
Do you really think you are any good?
Doing the opposite of what you really should?
Sellout, you're no friend of mine
Sellout, you don't belong
Sellout, are you gonna right all of your wrongs?
Sellout, you're no friend of mine
Sellout you don't belong
Sellout, you've been a mindless puppet all along
Your silence is deafening

Black gold
Your fucking blood
Spewing from the pipes
Blue seas it floods
Yellow cake
Your fucking piss
Staining our land
A slow death's kiss
Black oceans now crash
On shores of yellow sand
Blame everyone but yourself
Never gonna see that we
Are the land and the seas
Start your wars
For power and money
Send the poor to
The land of milk and honey
Build your bombs
As we decay
Weapons never fail
To bring death our way
Black oceans now crash
On shores of yellow sand
Blame everyone but yourself
Never gonna see that we
Are the land and the seas
Cross the seas take others land
In your wake, black oceans crash on
Shores of yellow sand
Black oceans, yellow sand
Black oceans, yellow sand
Black oceans, yellow sand
Black oceans, yellow sand
Extract your empty
Empty treasures
Fuel your futile
Futile pleasures
Rich and callous
But at what cost?
You are so blind
To the world we've lost
Black oceans now crash
On shores of yellow sand
Blame everyone but yourself
Never gonna see that we
Are the land and the seas

Live Your Lie

Some of the shit that keeps me up at night
You can’t imagine ‘cause you’re happy with your life
You just keep living your lie
My head is swollen with so much fucking spite
This pain we feel isn’t just in our minds
But do you see us cry?
Just because you’re blind to our pain
Does not make us insane
You see through coddled eyes
For us nothing’s the same
Live a day in my life
You’d see not sun but rain
A knife through your heart
Is but a prick in my vein
Live your lie
Live your lie
Live your lie
Some of the shit that keeps me up at night
You can’t imagine ‘cause you’re happy with your life
You just keep living your lie
My head is swollen with so much fucking spite
This pain we feel isn’t just in our minds
But do you see us cry?
Trauma and misery, these are what we see
Just admit your life came too easily
You profit from our ruinous history
This is why you’re satisfied in your apathy
Live your lie
Live your lie
Live your lie
Live a day in my life
You’d see not sun but rain
A knife through your heart
Is but a prick in my vein
Live your lie
Live your lie
Live your lie
You cannot handle my life so keep living your lie

Fuckin' Skoden
04:35

Lets sko!
Cast out and marginalized
We are the ones they tried to hide
Filled our minds with a million lies
Erased the memory of this genocide
Fuckin’ skoden
It's not just a word
It's a battle cry
A reminder that this
Fire’s still alive
Those who've forgotten will soon recognize
That our identity
Will be revived
Within us there is a void
A part of us nearly destroyed
But something’s now awakening
Open yourselves up to this feeling
Fuckin’ skoden
It's not just a word
It's a battle cry
A reminder that this
Fire’s still alive
Those who've forgotten will soon recognize
That our identity
Will be revived
It will not die
It will survive
Our tongue twists from foreign words
Something beckons to be heard
Our tongue twists from foreign words
Something beckons to be heard
(Ahh) Fuckin’ skoden
(Ahh) Fuckin’ skoden
Fuckin’ skoden
It's not just a word
It's a battle cry
A reminder that this
Fire’s still alive
Those who've forgotten will soon recognize
That our identity
Will be revived
It will not die
It will survive
(Ahh) fuckin’ skoden
(Ahh) fuckin’ skoden
Fuckin’ skoden

Back to Your Ships
06:00
|

Once upon a time
I heard sound of gunfire fill the sky
And distant cries of agony
A morbid lullaby
The coward american soldiers
Quickly fled the scene
Before Native warriors could intervene
Upon the return, there our village was
Completely ravaged, even women and
Children killed by the pale savage
All neighboring tribes banded together
We prepared for a vicious attack
Eyes turned red and sky went black
Horses galloping toward the settlement
Warriors enraged and malevolent
Now hear the sound of a thousand war cries
Run for your lives!
Not to the hills!
Back to your ships!
Back to your ships!
White man you'll never learn
You only live to see this world burn
Back to your ships!
Back to your ships!
White man you'll never learn
You only live to see this world burn!
As I am about to take a soldier's life a stoic elder
Appears and places his hand upon
Upon my knife
Says “this is not our way killing so mindlessly
Mimicking their actions means adopting their mantra
Mantra of monstrosity”
Horses galloping toward the settlement
Warriors enraged and malevolent
Now hear the sound
Of a thousand war cries
Run for your lives!
Not to the hills!
Back to your ships!
Back to your ships!
White man you'll never learn
You only live to see this world burn
Back to your ships!
Back to your ships!
White man you'll never learn
You only live to see this world burn!
We must send them across the sea
Liberate this land from calamity
Be grateful you're still alive
Get the fuck out before I change my mind
Bijei aadadin all stood in fear
As we told them they're no longer welcome here
Horses galloping toward the settlement
Warriors enraged and malevolent
Now hear the sound
Of a thousand war cries
Run for your lives!
Not to the hills!
Back to your ships!
Back to your ships!
White man you'll never learn
You live to see this world burn
Back to your ships!
Back to your ships!
White man you'll never learn
You only live to see this world burn
