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

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

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

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

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

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

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
