Lyrics
We had grown tired of this endless war We thought it was time to leave and to govern ourselves
Fearing punishment for our betrayal We asked our old enemies to defend our cities
They kept the king's forces at bay, but it had cost us all we ever had
After they had consumed most of our stock They forced our children to serve as their soldiers in the war From which we only tried to escape
"We saw the smoke rising from beyond the forest's canopy The sight made our hearts fill with sorrow So many lives wasted, in spite of our warnings Could we have done more to keep them from leaving?"
In our search for independence, we lost all the freedom we once had We are now little more than slaves in our own country Cheated into a life of misery
"We saw the smoke rising from beyond the forest's canopy The sight made our hearts fill with sorrow So many lives wasted, in spite of our warnings Could we have done more to keep them from leaving?"
