Outcry

Born among the green leaves

This forest was our home

For countless generations

It's where we've learned and grown

Our elders taught us how to live

As theirs have done before

To never take more than we give

It's the heart of nature's law

Creatures of the jungle were our guide

We walk with the old gods side by side

The spirits of our ancestors defamed

Trees cut down, our village set aflame

Upon that fateful day

The hateful gringos came

To desecrate this land

Brought slavery and shame

Our arrows were no match

For fire-sticks & sword

They smelt our gold to crucifixes proclaim Jesus lord!

500 Years have passed and now

I ask you what has changed?

2 Owns the wealth the rest still starve estranged

Chainsaws replace the axes

And the dollars treasures old

We're still watching all this holy ground

Been raped, stolen & sold

Pride and territory were deprived

It feels sometimes like our gods have died

The time has come to stand up for your rights

Children of this holy land now raise your spears and fight

Upon that hateful day

The gringo bankers came

They crucified you all

Pure profit was their aim

To them this sacred land

Has just financial worth

They gain their strangle-hold on the pure lungs of

Mother earth!

All around the planet

There's still tribes who realize

That these lands are their domain

Do you think these guys are right?

From gold to wood they raped us

No trust nor dignity it's our turn to roll the dice

We, the children of the green
