Lyrics

You were there when the whites stormed the capital
Stood on the beach as the 2nd boats landed
Whispered ‘Take it all’
Looked on as they were stealing children from their homes
Then turned away as they threw them in cages
Left them nowhere to go

You took all the names
Of the places you stolen
Put them in a shallow grave
Now they’re waking up

(Kill these old gods)

You put your money on a pig dressed up as a man
If he ain’t selling your whitewashed horse shit
Maybe no one can

You took all the names
Of the places you stolen
Put them in a shallow grave
Now they’re waking up

Kill these old gods x2

We are such an unusual species
We limit our care to some
Create our own hierarchy
Only free when we finally got none

You took all the names
Of the places you stolen
Put them in a shallow grave
Now they’re waking up

Kill these old gods x2

Kill these old gods
(Kill these) x3
(Old gods)
(Kill these) x3
(Old gods)
