God and Civilization Lyrics

Captured and betrayed
Forced to believe what they believe
Bow down faithfully or be forced down to your knees
And if you dare speak your native tongue, be prepared to be disciplined...

"It doesn't matter if you cry because we belong to them
No one will save you and no one can hear you
Your on your own, were all alone!
It doesn't matter if you beg, because they don't even care
Beaten, malnourished, and hard labored
Our suffering is their pleasure.

In there eyes they see us as the "enemy"
And in there minds they must stop us before we grow strong

I remember the day they came; they took me and my sister away!
They beat down my father and took us from our mother
With no reason why?
I remember they promised us a better life and to free us from our poverty, war, and disease...
There freedom is really slavery!

It was a time of desecration of culture
As young innocent children were forced to forget all that they know
Brutalized emotionally, physically, psychologically, and spiritually!

Suffering is all I see
Suffering is all that surrounds me!
Every night we cry for our father and mother
And we die from the sadness inside

Forced to believe everything we learned is a lie
Forced to embrace and accept the new God
Left with no choice to accept and forget our beliefs
Day after day and many beatings
We quickly forgotten who we were
Our world now the past and now was the time to learn the new world...

"Erase and replace us" their strategy to conquer us
They always feared us and feared what we would become
"Erase and replace us" their strategy to conquer us
Through cruelty, malnourishment, and hard labor
Our new world of God and Civilization
