lyrics

The unturned soil inters our shame
Roots thicken and the saplings thrive
A stolen child ripped from its mother's side
The young taken to be purified

Tucked in a bed of roots, without a lullaby
It’s a state sanctioned genocide
Enforced by dogmatic Catholic pride.

Wretched sisters must you cleft their braids?
Colonizing raids
Wretched sisters must you sever tongues?
Last gasp of self, swollen in lungs

How much dirt grimes beneath your nails?
Christ’s soured blood won’t wash you clean
Survivors, strangers in their kins’ own land
Destroyed and villifed, nameless, living damned.

Wretched sisters must you cleft their braids?
Colonizing raids
Wretched sisters must you sever tongues?
Annihilation of the young

Bones are heaped in unmarked graves.
Aren’t we owed our brave?
A nation has a right to claim its dead
Wounds septic, still you call them red.

The Pope prayed with the Cree
On land sisters used to rape and beat
A twist of the knife. The state and church know
The massacre’s ongoing, the blood still flows
Thousands missing and murdered, still no concern
It starts with the church and it ends when it burns.
