Song language: English
Ghost of America |
From the deserts to the oceanside |
From the mountains to the plains |
From two thousand years of peaceful life |
To only strife and pain |
Came to move them from ancestral homes |
Bringing howling winds of war |
To see the endless sky and earth below |
Nevermore |
Death and destruction |
Came rolling from all directions |
Then came the deal makers |
Selling their lies |
A forgotten people |
Forced to wander the earth |
Never respected |
Only (neglected) |
Theirs is the ghost of America |
Receiving no honor |
Holding on to their pride |
Only were cheated |
Never defeated |
Theirs is the ghost of America |
Many generations had come and gone |
But their land was never changed |
Life in harmony with nature reigned |
Until the white men came |
Until they said this is our promised land |
It’s our eminent domain |
Let’s destroy all traces of the past |
Let nothing remain |
Death and destruction |
Came rolling from all directions |
Then came the deal makers |
Selling their lies |
A forgotten people |
Forced to wander the earth |
Never respected |
Only rejected |
Theirs is the ghost of America |
Receiving no honor |
Holding on to their pride |
Only were cheated |
Never defeated |
Theirs is the ghost of America |
Death and destruction |
Came rolling from all directions |
Then came the deal makers |
Selling their lies |
A forgotten people |
Forced to wander the earth |
Never respected |
Only rejected |
Theirs is the ghost of America |
Receiving no honor |
Holding on to their pride |
Only were cheated |
Never defeated |
Theirs is the ghost of America |
