"Empire Of Shame" lyrics

"Empire Of Shame"

First, they came for the gold and riches
In the name of the Great Empire
They brought us grief, death, and slavery
Suppressing all resistance

They came from overseas
Sailing on dragon heads and horses of steel
They came with guns a-blazing
Messengers of the empire of shame

Empire of shame

Then they came for the women and children
With no one else to fight them back
They raped and killed our sacred treasure
Annihilating every tribe

They came from overseas
Sailing on dragon heads and horses of steel
They came with guns a-blazing
Messengers of the empire of shame

Empire of shame
There was no glory or honor in the carnage
A bloodshed game
Step on a strange land, by fire and sword

Empire of shame
In search of fortune and power for the master
The tribes aflame
Damned be the empire on which the sun never sets

And then they came with burning crosses
They said it was to civilize
Erasing all our ancient culture
Indigenous genocide

They came from overseas
Sailing on dragon heads and horses of steel
They came with guns a-blazing
Messengers of the empire of shame

Empire of shame
