Place of Skulls

The Monster

Place of Skulls


Their fires are burning 
Our ships come ashore 
To discover what's already known 
And our greed will cost them more 

We take what's not our own 
Once denied, blood flows 
And let the monster grow 

Their homes we took as our own 
And fly our flag in their place 
The riches of the land we acquired 
Are rivers flowing with disgrace 

White man, shameful woes 
Our independence won 
The monster took their soul 

We wallow in desire 
Like pigs in a mire 
No rest for the wicked 
Like sons of Bitches 
Well I'm not too proud 
To talk down 
To what's done and said 
By the monster we bred 

Taken what's not our own 
And deny blood had flown 
Still the monster grows.
