Dis Morta

The Lord said to me
See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you
Now begin to conquer and possess his land
When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz
The Lord our God delivered him over to us and we struck him down
Together with his sons and his whole army
At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed them
Men, women and children
We left no survivors

Chained and bound
Torn from the ground
Of my fathers before me who burned
At the stake on the cross
In the eyes of your God
For salvation, you think I deserve

Displaced, disgraced, transplanted to this hell
Made to toil, bloody trail, reduced to human shells
Firmly in control, indoctrinating hold
Obedience, subservience, miserable existence

You come and you take
Our ways are forsaked
Our submission is never enough
You traded in skin
Crossing seas deep within
Bellies of ships drenched in blood

Humiliation for generations
The institution, no solution
Endless suffering, unending offering
Promise of the next life suppressing any strife

Come let me show you all the glory
In the service of our Lord
Sinful and savage, untamed and unmanaged
Bow down before me, death is your reward
