First they came for the gold and riches In the name of the great empire They bought us grief, death and slavery Supressing all resistance They came form overseas Sailing on dragon heads and horses of steel They came with guns ablazing Messengers of the empire of shame Then they came for the women and children With no one else to fight them back They raped and killed our sacred treasure Annihilaiting every tribe They came form overseas Sailing on dragon heads and horses of steel They came with guns ablazing Messengers of the empire of shame Empire of shame There was no glory or honor in the carnage A bloodshed game Step on a strange land, by fire and sword Empire os shame In search of fortune and power for the master The tribes aflame Dammed be the empire on wich the Sun never sets And then they came with burning crosses They said it was to civilize Erasing all our ancient culture Indigenous genocide They came form overseas Sailing on dragon heads and horses of steel They came with guns ablazing Messengers of the empire of shame
