Christians Murdered Indians Lyrics - Singles - Corporate Avenger

Even in the initial stages of contact between European Christians and 

Native Indian people the stage was set for ethnocentrism, and the 

attitude towards the Indians was that of Christian superiority. The 

Indians were read a proclamation in Spanish which they had no hope of 

understanding, they had no hope of understanding the death sentence they 

were being read, and it went something like this: 

"We ask and require you to acknowledge the church as the ruler and 

superior of the whole world and the high priest called pope and in his 

name the king of Spain as lords of this land. If you submit we shall 

receive you in all love and charity and shall leave you, your wives and 

children and your lands free without servitude, but if you do not submit 

we shall powerfully enter into your country and shall make war against 

you, we shall take you and your wives and your children and shall make 

slaves of them and we shall take away your goods and shall do you all 

the harm and damage we can." 

2000 years ago we were all tribal. 

Then came the missionaries with their fucking bible. 

1492 began the termination 

The holocaust of our Indian nations 

Yeah, with Christian love and a moral authority 

They killed our medicine men and stole our country 

I never claimed this shit was poetry 

It's just the fucking lies of Christianity 

You will pray to the lord and get down on your knees 

Here's a cross for your back and the coughing disease 

Though you helped us survive we will laugh while you bleed 

Then deny what we did, write our own history 

We will kidnap your children and cut off their hair 

Silence their language and outlaw their prayers 

Beat them blind until they believe 

In the blood of Jesus Christ our king 

Christians murdered Indians 

Columbus murdered children and now we have a holiday 

Still you want to deny your history 

Look to the sky for your god to justify 

As you commit cultural genocide 

Christians came and the natives they did hang 

13 at a time for Jesus and his gang 

We are the ones you had to dehumanize 

So your murder and greed could be justified 

The belly of the church is full 

With the blood of all those heathen fools 

Who would not receive the gift of Christ? 

So we burned them as a sacrifice 

To our baby killing god above 

To our mother church and all her love 

We will steal their gods and subjugate 

Those who don't believe we'll ahnilate 

"The Spaniards made bets as to who would slit a man in two or cut of 

his head with one blow. They tore babies from their mother's breast by 

their feet and dashed their head against the rocks. They hanged Indians 

by thirteen in honor and reverence for their redeemer and their twelve 

apostles. They put wood underneath and with fire burned the Indians 

alive." 

Christians murdered Indians 

We believe in the earth, the sky and dreams 

The universe and the creator who gave us these 

The sacred gift of life and human beings 

That makes you perpetrate the hate to ahnilate 

So here I am the savage civilized 

Voice of the dead and my ancestor's cries 

And like the ghosts of this land you can't erase 

I see blood on the hands of the master race. 

500 years of manifest destiny 

500 years of resistance to the enemy 

You have faith in the rivers, the mountains, the trees 

We've a murdering god to replace all of these 

With the blood of forgiveness you too can be free 

Or the wrath of Jehovah you're sure to receive 

We will baptize you with the blood of the lamb 

With the sword and the gospel we will conquer your land 

You will join our church and be glad to be saved 

Or we'll slaughter your children and your women we'll rape. 

Christians murdered Indians 

I see blood on the hands of the master race.
