Godlike Strangers

It was a wonderful time.
No sign of threat, no reason why
we'd worry 'bout the end of days.
We were livin' a dream.
How could we know that miles beyond
we were being approached by men of "grace"?
Some ripples in the ocean waves,
it didn't occur to us
to see the signs, to see the dangers.
And there they were,
creatures never seen before
appeared to us as godlike strangers.

Men of steel with arms of fire,
burned our village down
ruthlessly they vandalized.
The "gods" who claimed the "new land",
all seemed to behave
like tameless beasts in paradise!

Many years ago
They all silenced your voice
and defenceless you had to face it.
Many years ago
With their weapons of choice
No chance you were going to make it.

We're saddened to hear there's no place for your story
No dreams you will carry out
The pages that speak of your once great existence
Were shamelessly all ripped out
