American Indian - Tainted Ground

Original tune about how we killed off all the Indians and took the land. That may be offensive to some, but I didn't make it up. It's what happened. Some people just can't handle the truth.

[American Indian - Tainted Ground]

American Indian, white man come and take your life
communal land that can't be owned, the Algonquin met their demise

Croatan Sound in 1586, Pemisapan shot in cold blood
1622 Powhatans die some were poisoned some died by the gun

RED SKINNED MAN, CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE
TILL THEN WE WALK ON TAINTED GROUND

Massasoit come in peace he had, oh but it didn't last too long
Metacom had come with his uprising, and burnt the settlements to the ground

1676 Metacom is killed, and his son is captured and enslaved
And King Phillips memory lives on as the ghost of the English colony

RED SKINNED MAN, CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE
TILL THEN WE WALK ON TAINTED GROUND

American Indian, white man come and take your life

RED SKINNED MAN, CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE
RED SKINNED MAN, CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE
TILL THEN WE WALK ON TAINTED GROUND
TILL THEN WE WALK ON TAINTED GROUND
