lyrics

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
