Story Behind the Song
Song about Great Britain raping and pillaging the world in the name of colonialism. Pathetic!
Lyrics
We crossed into a land of mountains,
where the people swore they had
never seen what had gone before.
We stole their wives and children in the mountains,
we took their pride and punished them
for not being white.
And who can say what the day may bring,
when the morning comes will the people sing?
We pride ourselves on being caring,
but the rate of pay out weighs
past values and loyalties.
The gift of life was meant for learning,
now we've learned to steal and
forge a seal of approval.
And who can say what the night may bring,
when the morning comes will the people sing?
I hope you find new life, I hope that it's soon,
a land of meaning where the best
that you can offer is the truth.
We crossed into a land of plenty,
we saw the crimes that we'd done
in the name of Christ.
Now we beg forgiveness in the mountains,
plead innocence and pray
our sentence is merciful.
And who can say what today may bring,
when the warning comes will the people sing?
