We Will Not Be Broken

They came in ships across
the water
Bearing gifts from far off
lands
The fatted calf for the
slaughter
The blood still running
from their hands
They came to build the
golden alter
Promised the good life to
us all
They raped the land and
raped our culture
As all around us Spirits
fall
Ch: Where’s it all gonna
end
We will not be broken
We will stand to fight
again
We will not be broken
They brought their wisdom
to our elders
Brought their vices to our
sons
Brought their greed to our
children
Tamed our spirits with
their guns
Ch:
Bridge: What you give they
take away [3X]
It all comes back someday
Now the forests drown in
concrete
And the rivers cry for life
Black smoke hides the God
of Fire
Mother Earth must pay the
price
Ch:
