lyrics

Savage Ones

once we hunted buffalo
once the salmon bit
once we drank good water
until they poisoned it

once we knew a magic world
in worship every day
now we work for wages
we live this broken way

once they called us heathens
and chained us down below
on our backs this house of cards
where did the old gods go

they will steal with lawyers
they will steal with guns
an appetite that’s endless lord
but we’re the savage ones

their engines ever grinding
they ran to grab the gold
bearing lies and trinkets
creation bought and sold

it’s a global sickness
extraction and abuse
once we honored wisdom
now it has no use

they will steal with lawyers
they will steal with guns
an appetite that’s endless lord
but we’re the savage ones

we had wars and jealousies
we struggled to survive
times were never easy
but we were so alive

we can hear earth groaning
her creatures groaning too
once this land was sacred
before the cancer grew

they will steal with lawyers
they will steal with guns
an appetite that’s endless lord
but we’re the savage ones

an appetite that’s endless lord
but we’re the savage ones
