Walking on loam that blankets the deepest
Fabrics and threads of flesh of elders and leaders
Of children and seekers, on the growth of our teacher
The seamstress of which growth never ceases
Observing the plants and life of the creatures
Developed vocabulary to decipher the features
Landmarks for believers, lullabies for when nights are sleepless
Opened our arms to the ones you'd bear to fight and bleed us
You ate the flesh from your god's child, what's his name?
Lashing of skin till our last words leave us

Then through papers and waivers, you revelled and waged war
Signing deals with, what's his name? You craved more
The pen waved as the sword, paved your original word
Over the earth, details subliminal to absurd
Took your seeds and polluted the dirt
Made us sow them with tools that didn't work
Carved up the earth, and we prospered despite this
So you starved us to spite us, took hostage our lifeblood
Weakened our elders and leaders, children and seekers
You tortured and deprived love
Pruning the forests, till the only words left were yours

Hard to articulate it, god stricken with hatred
Barred the path I’d walk to the sacred
Suffocated, loss of ways to talk and pay debts
Lost language i talked, your bread too rotten to break with
Convincing yourself with your heaven on earth
When it gets contrarian, the weapons emerge
Had much to share, but you had to be listening first
Missed the 1st impressions when you stepped on this dirt
Now I’ve less to share, so you're impression gets worse
Words escaping me, the only ones I’m left with are yours

Tried containing the lies you deceived with as truth
To bury us, but lied the deepest of roots
While we were few as receding recluse
But as the weeds to the trees to the woods
you planted the tree and the apple fall
words ain't enough to absolve
you planted the tree and the apple fall
words ain't enough to absolve
Ancestors left to be lost and devoured by fog
on the dew, it soon rests on the flowers as gloss
to seep, carried in soul
hope from under your edifice, berries from soil
words ain't enough to absolve
