500 Years

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.

500 years ago they sailed the sea in search of gold,

for the king and queen of Portugal.

A savage land was what they found…

So they sent their slaves to cut it down.

What has been done will not be forgotten.

Amazon where have you gone?

Amazon where have you gone?

They cut you. They cut you.

They cut you. They cut you.

500 years ago they sailed the sea in search of gold,

for the king and queen of Portugal.

A savage land was what they found…

So they sent their slaves to cut it down.

What has been done will not be forgotten.

They cut you. They cut you.

They cut you. They cut you.

Down, Down, Down….

For the company.

Just for the factory.

They said for prosperity.

They said humanity.

They cut you. They cut you.

They cut you. They cut you.

Down, Down, Down….

500 years ago they sailed the sea in search of gold,

for the king and queen of Portugal.

A savage land was what they found…

So they sent their slaves to cut it down.

What has been done will not be forgotten.

What has been done will not be forgotten.

What has been done will not be forgotten.
