1492 Lyrics by Scarlet’s Remains

Scarlet’s Remains

[Intro]
Nothing has changed

[Verse 1]
I see fountains of blood
Devastation birthed of greed
Billowing sails beget a cycle of genocide
The soil is cursed, the souls suffer plague
A grim reminder of an earlier age
At what price do we acquire?
At what price do we acquire?

[Verse 2]
I see bodies swinging in the wind
Faces bloated and bruised
Burning crosses brand terror into
The heart of a race, the soul of a nation
A grim attempt at annihilation
So in slavery did we acquire
Acquire

[Chorus]
Rotten
Our souls are rotten at the core
We provoke ugliness to emerge from beauty
Everything that we touch becomes filthy
Soiled
Soiled

[Verse 3]
I see barbed wire encircling
The forms of a disenfranchised
Population
Who, based on their country of origin
Are held captive as traitors
Are taught humiliation
So in internment did we trust none
None

[Chorus]
Rotten
Our souls are rotten at the core
We provoke ugliness to emerge from beauty
Everything that we touch becomes filthy
Soiled
Soiled

[Outro]
I see the impoverished native on the concentration camp we call a reservation
I see the innocent Arab removed from his family on false accusations
I see the see the man on death row, framed for speaking out
I see the see the welfare mother plucked from her children to slave for minimum wage
I see the perpetuation of evil
And nothing has changed
Nothing has changed
Nothing has changed
(Changed, changed, changed, changed)
