lyrics

(Colonizer)
You take and take and you offer
(Colonizer)
Lies for our lives on your alter

You take what we have made for your own
Red earth for your White Lies, you have stol'n
When will you realize that its your own soul
Your humanity you’ve given up for your throne

Remember, oh yes Remember why we must fight
The next generations deserve an Indigenous life
So do not denigrate yourselves for their lies
Our Ancestors walked so live life

(Colonizer)
You take and take and you offer
(Colonizer)
Lies for our lives on your alter

Plant your feet firmly on your land
Speak with the tongue of your ancestor all you can
Our knowledge and space is tied to this place (So hold on to the power)
They’ll take what they can, but in the end (we will be here)

Cuz we are not vanishing
(For 10 thousand years we’ve called this land home)
And if 500 years is all that you know
(You better get ready)
We resist the assimilationist
(Tactics and tomes of all that you’ve known)
Standing for water, protecting our own
(Because we are the chosen)

(Colonizer)
You take and take and you offer
(Colonizer)
Lies for our lives on your alter
