The Spoils Of Treason
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We had grown tired of this endless war
We thought it was time to leave and to govern ourselves
Fearing punishment for our betrayal
we asked our old enemies to defend our cities.
They kept the kings forces at bay
but it had cost us all we ever had
After they had consumed most of our stock
they forced our children to serve
as their soldiers in the war
from which we only tried to escape
"We saw the smoke rising from beyond the forest's canopy
The sight made our hearts fill with sorrow.
So many lives wasted, in spite of our warnings.
Could we have done more to keep them from leaving?"
In our search for independence,
we lost all the freedom we once had.
We are now little more than slaves in our own country
Cheated into a life of misery.
"We saw the smoke rising from beyond the forest's canopy
The sight made our hearts fill with sorrow.
So many lives wasted, in spite of our warnings.
Could we have done more to keep them from leaving?"
