We were set upon the land
By an angered church
And beset on every side
Stood our new enemy
Whom we'd never known
And God smiled at us from a distance
Stuck behind the rhetoric
Of a gluttonous church
And we fought valiantly
As we watched our men and women dragged away
And our children raped
And our elderly slaughtered
We held up our arms to the sky
And we bled
But the rhetoric didn't save us
And we starved
And the scripture didn't feed us
And the church looked upon us
From a distance with full coffers
And we were handed to the enemy
That we would bleed
And meet a surprised God
Who hadn't expected
To see us this soon
