Back to Your Ships Lyrics


Once upon a time

I heard sound of gunfire fill the sky

And distant cries of agony

A morbid lullaby

The coward american soldiers

Quickly fled the scene

Before Native warriors could intervene

Upon the return, there our village was

Completely ravaged, even women and

Children killed by the pale savage

All neighboring tribes banded together

We prepared for a vicious attack

Eyes turned red and sky went black

Horses galloping toward the settlement

Warriors enraged and malevolent

Now hear the sound of a thousand war cries

Run for your lives!

Not to the hills!

Back to your ships!

Back to your ships!

White man you'll never learn

You only live to see this world burn

Back to your ships!

Back to your ships!

White man you'll never learn

You only live to see this world burn!

As I am about to take a soldier's life a stoic elder

Appears and places his hand upon

Upon my knife

Says “this is not our way killing so mindlessly

Mimicking their actions means adopting their mantra

Mantra of monstrosity”

Horses galloping toward the settlement

Warriors enraged and malevolent

Now hear the sound

Of a thousand war cries

Run for your lives!

Not to the hills!

Back to your ships!

Back to your ships!

White man you'll never learn

You only live to see this world burn

Back to your ships!

Back to your ships!

White man you'll never learn

You only live to see this world burn!

We must send them across the sea

Liberate this land from calamity

Be grateful you're still alive

Get the fuck out before I change my mind

Bijei aadadin all stood in fear

As we told them they're no longer welcome here

Horses galloping toward the settlement

Warriors enraged and malevolent

Now hear the sound

Of a thousand war cries

Run for your lives!

Not to the hills!

Back to your ships!

Back to your ships!

White man you'll never learn

You live to see this world burn

Back to your ships!

Back to your ships!

White man you'll never learn

You only live to see this world burn
