Corporate Avenger

Boarding Schools

any trace of the place they belong to

a connection to land they could not understand

so they came to remove them

and their parents would cry and be left asking why

but the soldiers ignored them

and they took them away from the place they belonged to

and removed any trace of their faith and their culture

any trace of the place they belong to

memories of children from those who came before

were stolen away for ever

by soldiers who came to take them away

to their boarding school nightmare

so they fell from the sky

to this land where they die

and the spirits move through them

till their language was gone along with their songs

seemed god no longer knew them

would a painted face hide the pain of no culture

any trace of the place they belong to

memories of children from those who came before

were stolen away forever

by soldiers who came to take them away

to their boarding school nightmare
