Centuries of oppression

They arrived upon the shore, in ages long ago
To loot and plunder, to rape and kill

Fueled by fear and hate
With guns and spears raised high
They stormed the unknown world
Profit and fame to win

Every soul encountered
Is slaughtered or enslaved
All in the name of god
And Christian beliefs

Keep up your hopes, live to survive
Guerrillas desperate cries
Don't show the hurting, don't show the pain
Times will change, we will remain

Your brought to slavery, when you are caught
Just work until you die, by fatigue of sword
The slightest fault, will cost your head
Or just the attitude that makes you stand out

Along the fields, bodies are packed up high
Of those that tried the run and save their humble life
They try to break you mind, try to enslave your soul
Use you like machine and do what you are told

Keep up your hopes, live to survive
Guerrilla tactics for desperate cries
Don't show the hurting, don't show the pain
Times will change, we will remain

Along the centuries, things always seemed to change
A saviour for a damaged society
Your saviour turns out just to do the same
Centuries of oppression, we will remain!
