The moai faced inland
Away from the sea
Ghosts of dead leaders
Born from deities you see
Hewn from volcanic tuff
Soft no doubt
Compared to basalt or diorite
Which Are ******* to dig out
If they had only turned the other way
They might have seen disaster coming
Dutch killers on Easter morn
Peruvian slavers
Had them running
But it is a small island
And there was no tree cover
They cut them down so long ago
So they could grow some tucker
European disease
South American ******
Cut the population down low
As a couple o hundred years rolled by
And crops refused to grow
So the god's where cast down
Face down on the ground
Venerated protectors brought low
The people despaired
Beyond all hope and care
A paradise with no seeds to sow
Then the pickings were slim
Raiders had no one to ****
So they left them alone to their plight
But the moai are back on their feet now
Resurrected
As a world heritage site.
