Shame is the color of my skin
White are the lies that allow me to sin
Red is the blood that is on my hand
Black is the soul that stole this land

We look, we see, we want, we take
We close our eyes, refuse to awake
We want the land, We'll take their lives
and claim allegience to bloody mens lies

I will fight no more forever
We've killed them all

Green is the lust that wanders these shores
to con and lie and steal some more
Gold is the gleam that's in the eye
Hiding behind my image and pride

We thump, we quote, we twist just a bit
manipulate all our words to fit,
to justify, why we'll kill again
our troops, oh yes, i must support them

I will fight no more forever,
We've killed them all

Blue was the sky, before we came
Polluted the color of this nations rain,
Filth is the color, but i'm free to sin,
What is the color of my lying skin?

Dead is the soul who gathers men
coercing the innocent to follow him
Dead congregations, all on the march
Deaf, dumb, and blind, deceived by a cross

I will fight no more forever,
we've killed them all.

When did the fire within me grow cold?
Why did the child - in me - grow old?
Why did the passion within me die?
When did my truth, turn into a lie?

Where is the questioning me that was?
Where is the human in me that loves?
When did the kindness - abandon my heart?
When did the truth and I, depart?

I will fight no more forever,
we've killed them all.
