Corporate Avenger - Christians Murdered Indians lyrics
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, 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 In |
