We The Conqueror by popilosky(m): 1:43pm On Oct 15, 2013 |
This is our land In thick bark Of black blood We were born. In ancient past Of leaves that refuse to wither away Of route rooted into the the core of the earth We were born. We play, laugh under the sun Hide under trees when it rains Crawl into our caves in winter Singing songs of hero's past As the mark of ancient warriors. You came, saw beauty and sojourned. With white words You brought us out of our caves With mirrors You brought our kings to their knees. We have feared that night When white powder shout in horror Black blood sinking rapidly into the earth In protest of a defile heritage. You came, brought it and expected it. When we say no You say yes, With force, we put under captivity. But our blood! That black blood! That never seizes to amaze you Even in you home of tall mountains Will never surrender. Push you, we will, out of our land. In struggle and in pain We will fight you back Beyond the seas, To the distant end. You technique Our technique You strenght Our strenght. Bring you, we will, into the caves Though it may tarry We will wait In might and in strenght For this black blood is more than a conqueror. writing by Pope Tuggen (popilosky) like to hear you reviews, thanks. |
