Christians Murdered Indians

Even in the initial stages of contact between European Christians and
Native Indian people the stage was set for ethnocentrism, and the
Attitude towards the Indians was that of Christian superiority. The
Indians were read a proclamation in Spanish which they had no hope of
Understanding, they had no hope of understanding the death sentence they
Were being read, and it went something like this:
"We ask and require you to acknowledge the church as the ruler and
Superior of the whole world and the high priest called pope and in his
Name the king of Spain as lords of this land. If you submit we shall
Receive you in all love and charity and shall leave you, your wives and
Children and your lands free without servitude, but if you do not submit
We shall powerfully enter into your country and shall make war against
You, we shall take you and your wives and your children and shall make
Slaves of them and we shall take away your goods and shall do you all
The harm and damage we can."

2000 years ago we were all tribal
Then came the missionaries with their fucking bible
1492 began the termination
The holocaust of our Indian nations

Yeah, 2000 years ago we were all tribal
Then came the missionaries with their fucking bible
1492 began the termination
The holocaust of our Indian nations

Yeah, with Christian love and a moral authority
They killed our medicine men and stole our country
I never claimed this shit was poetry
It's just the fucking lies of Christianity

You will pray to the lord and get down on your knees
Here's a cross for your back and the coughing disease
Though you helped us survive we will laugh while you bleed
Then deny what we did, write our own history

We will kidnap your children and cut off their hair
Silence their language and outlaw their prayers
Beat them blind until they believe
In the blood of Jesus Christ our king

Christians murdered Indians

Columbus murdered children and now we have a holiday
Still you want to deny your history
Look to the sky for your god to justify
As you commit cultural genocide

Christians came and the natives they did hang
13 at a time for Jesus and his gang
We are the ones you had to dehumanize
So your murder and greed could be justified

The belly of the church is full
With the blood of all those heathen fools
Who would not receive the gift of Christ?
So we burned them as a sacrifice

To our baby killing god above
To our mother church and all her love
We will steal their gods and subjugate
Those who don't believe we'll annihilate

The Spaniards made bets as to who would
Slit a man in two or cut of his head with one blow
They tore babies from their mother's breast
By their feet and dashed their head against the rocks
They hanged Indians by thirteen in honor and reverence
For their redeemer and their twelve apostles
They put wood underneath with fire and burned the Indians alive

Christians murdered Indians

We believe in the earth, the sky and dreams
The universe and the creator who gave us these
The sacred gift of life and human beings
That makes you perpetrate the hate to annihilate

So here I am the savage civilized
Voice of the dead and my ancestor's cries
And like the ghosts of this land you can't erase
I see blood on the hands of the master race

500 years of manifest destiny
500 years of manifest destiny
500 years of manifest destiny
500 years of resistance to the enemy

500 years of manifest destiny
500 years of manifest destiny
500 years of manifest destiny
500 years of resistance to the enemy

You have faith in the rivers, the mountains, the trees
We've a murdering god to replace all of these
With the blood of forgiveness you too can be free
Or the wrath of Jehovah you're sure to receive

We will baptize you with the blood of the lamb
With the sword and the gospel we will conquer your land
You will join our church and be glad to be saved
Or we'll slaughter your children and your women we'll rape

Christians murdered Indians

I see blood on the hands of the master race
