They Tried To Silence the Music
They tried to silence the music
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Spanish, the Portuguese, the French, the British.
They all tried to mute, to squelch the songs, using genocide.
They all tried to eradicate the golden voices of warrior Eagles.
They all tried to erase the echoing beat from the drums of this land.
Tyranny, genocide was the raging noise, drowning out the music.
Yet, in over four hundred years, they all, could not kill their songs
of life, of love, of respect for all that Mother Earth has provided man.
Be he of the original colour, or caucasian, yellow, dark brown, or black.
They all have failed to exterminate, to terminate the First Nation’s voice.
A voice, who’s soul, soars on high, above them all, on the winds of eternal time.
All the First Nation’s, Heroes, their Prophets, have stated, our voices will be heard.
We will once again become the music, the beat, the songs, the voices of pure reason.
