We revere our ancestors Becoming their protectors Because they're remembered With a golden scepter Yet they're only infectors Through outdated lectures
If you examine history It doesn't take too long To unravel the mystery Our ancestors were wrong They sing a siren's song Of tradition As redundant repetition They sing a tribal hymn Of societal sin That fools fall in Until we're walled in
If you want to meet our ancestors Go to North Sentinel Island They'll turn you into a rejector Or **** you where you stand The last island of savages It's barely inhabited Due to its low population And the fact that its inhabitants are barely people There's further obfuscation When they can't differentiate between good and evil
Two fishermen drifted toward the village Not to ****** and pillage They had haphazardly fallen asleep And temporarily lost control They couldn't hear their worried fleet Or the natives on patrol They were turned into the dearly departed Because these savages are basically ******* No justice was found for those men They were killed by a protected people Why are we protecting them then If mere contact will always be lethal?
We love our ancestors so much we let them ****** us Yet these are the same people that have inserted us Into this cycle of violence And now they're dead The only relief is their silence Their ideas we must shed
