Blood of the Innocent Lyrics

by Cage

Lost without trace indigenous race

Taken by force and displaced

Sons of the land true American

They made their last stand for survival

Pain greed and fear

Manifest destiny is here

Lies hate revenge

Crimes of the past are avenged

We're spreading the blood of the innocent

Loud were their cries vicious yet wise

A people of peace forced to fight

Fractured and few the invaders knew

Against them they would not unite.

Pain greed and fear

Manifest destiny is here

Lies hate revenge

Crimes of the past are avenged

We're spreading the blood of the innocent

Promises that were made

Broken and quickly betrayed

On reservations they're enslaved

A race of resentment and rage

God had a plan this once savage man

Has justice poetically made

Temptations of sin that once did them in

Now has us the slaves to the Indian

Pain greed and fear

Manifest destiny is here

Lies hate revenge

Crimes of the past are avenged

We're spreading the blood of the innocent
