Forgive Us

What used to be theirs is now white man's domain Taken through manifest destiny proclaimed Treaties were made by the white man then broken He knew that after the slaughter Of women and children had begun that the great Indian nations Would come undone Yes the white man was sick even perverse in his quest It seemed he enjoyed laying women and children to rest Finally the great Chiefs said enough no more So there Braves mounted horses and tried to make war But the white man had decided that his way was best And continue to lay more Indians to rest So what was their crime and what did they do To deserve all of the hell our forefathers put them through May the Great spirit forgive you
