lirik lagu scarlet’s remains – 1492
[intro]
nothing has changed
[verse 1]
i see fountains of blood
devastation birthed of greed
billowing sails beget a cycle of genocide
the soil is cursed, the souls suffer plague
a grim reminder of an earlier age
at what price do we acquire?
at what price do we acquire?
[verse 2]
i see bodies swinging in the wind
faces bloated and bruised
burning crosses brand terror into
the heart of a race, the soul of a nation
a grim attempt at annihilation
so in slavery did we acquire
acquire
[chorus]
rotten
our souls are rotten at the core
we provoke ugliness to emerge from beauty
everything that we touch becomes filthy
soiled
soiled
[verse 3]
i see barbed wire encircling
the forms of a disenfranchised
population
who, based on their country of origin
are held captive as traitors
are taught humiliation
so in internment did we trust none
none
[chorus]
rotten
our souls are rotten at the core
we provoke ugliness to emerge from beauty
everything that we touch becomes filthy
soiled
soiled
[outro]
i see the impoverished native on the concentration camp we call a reservation
i see the innocent arab removed from his family on false accusations
i see the see the man on death row, framed for speaking out
i see the see the welfare mother plucked from her children to slave for minimum wage
i see the perpetuation of evil
and nothing has changed
nothing has changed
nothing has changed
(changed, changed, changed, changed)
