"Old Gods" lyrics

"Old Gods"

You were there when the whites stormed the Capitol
Stood on the beaches the second boats landed
Whispered, "Take it all"
Looked on as they were stealing children from their homes
Then turned away as they threw 'em in cages
Left 'em nowhere to go

You took all the names
Of the places you stole and
Put them in a shallow grave
Now they're waking up

Kill these old gods

You put your money on a pig dressed up as a man
If he ain't selling your whitewashed horseshit
Maybe no one can

You took all the names
Of the places you stole and
Put them in a shallow grave
Now they're waking up

Kill these old gods
Kill these old gods

We are such an unusual species
We limit our care to some
Create our own hierarchy
Only free when we finally got none

You took all the names
Of the places you stole and
Put them in a shallow grave
Now they're waking up

Kill these old gods
Kill these old gods
Kill these old gods
Kill these, kill these
Kill these old gods
Kill these, kill these
Kill these old gods
