The colonists and the Algonquins sing about how the strangers they have encountered are “evil” and “untrustable” because they are “different”. Because of this, they are preparing for war.
[RATCLIFFE]
What can you expect
From filthy little heathens?
Their whole disgusting race is like a curse
Their skin's a hellish red
They're only good when dead
They're vermin as I said, and worse
[ENGLISH SETTLERS]
They're savages, savages
[RATCLIFFE]
Barely even human
[ENGLISH SETTLERS]
Savages, savages
[RATCLIFFE]
Drive them from our shore
They're not like you and me
Which means they must be evil
We must sound the drums of war
[ENGLISH SETTLERS]
They're savages, savages
Dirty shrieking devils
[RATCLIFFE & ENGLISH SETTLERS]
Now we sound the drums of war
[POWHATAN]
This is what we feared
The paleface is a demon
The only thing they feel at all is greed
[KEKATA]
Beneath that milky hide
There's emptiness inside
[NATIVES]
I wonder if they even bleed
They're savages, savages
[POWHATAN & NATIVES]
Barely even human
[NATIVES]
Savages, savages
[POWHATAN]
Killers at the core
[KEKATA]
They're different from us
Which means they can't be trusted
[POWHATAN]
We must sound the drums of war
[NATIVES]
They're savages, savages
First we deal with this one
Then we sound the drums of war
[ENGLISH SETTLERS]
Savages, savages
[BEN]
Let's go get a few, men
[NATIVES]
Savages, savages
[RATCLIFFE]
Now it's up to you, men
[ALL]
Savages, savages
Barely even human
Now we sound the drums of war
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[RATCLIFFE]
This will be the day
(Spoken)
Let's go men
[POWHATAN]
This will be the morning
(Spoken)
Bring out the prisoner
[NATIVES]
We will see them dying in the dust
[POCAHONTAS]
I don't know what I can do
Still I know I've got to try
[RATCLIFFE & ENGLISH SETTLERS]
Now we make them pay
[POCAHONTAS]
Eagle help my feet to fly
[NATIVES]
Now without a warning
[POCAHONTAS]
Mountain help my heart be great
[NATIVES]
Now we leave 'em blood and bone and rust
[POCAHONTAS]
Spirits of the Earth and Sky
[ENGLISH SETTLERS & NATIVES]
It's them or us
[POCAHONTAS]
Please don't let it be too late
[ENGLISH SETTLERS & NATIVES]
They're just a bunch of filthy, stinking
[NATIVES]
Savages
[ENGLISH SETTLERS]
Savages
[NATIVES]
Demons
[ENGLISH SETTLERS]
Devils
[RATCLIFFE]
Kill them
[NATIVES]
Savages
[ENGLISH SETTLERS]
Savages
[RATCLIFFE]
What are we waiting for?
[RATCLIFFE, ENGLISH SETTLERS, & NATIVES]
Destroy their evil race until there's not a trace left
[POCAHONTAS]
How loud are the drums of the war?
[RATCLIFFE, ENGLISH SETTLERS, & NATIVES]
We will sound the drums of war
Savages, Savages
Now we sound the drums of war
Savages, Savages
[ENGLISH SETTLERS & NATIVES]
Now we see what comes of trying to be chums
Now we sound the drums of ...
[POCAHONTAS]
Is this the death of all I love carried in the drumming of
[ENGLISH SETTLERS & NATIVES]
War
