Liars and murderers, pale faced intruders Came one day to our shores Years of deceit and injustice and greed Led to the crimes and the wars Hopelessly wronged, dragged from our homes Placed into stockades Loaded on wagons as cattle or sheep Silently filled with this rage And all through the nights, we sang and we cried holding on dearly What gives you the right to do this Who are the savages now! It's a trail of tears, keep home fires burning We're on a trail of tears, to were dreams go to die Suffering and dying, enduring the cold Oppression without regret Wantonly stealing our land and our gold The Cherokee will not forget And all through the nights, we sang and we cried holding on dearly Four thousand graves along the way Who are the savages now! Songtexte It's a trail of tears, keep home fires burning We're on a trail of tears, to were dreams go to die It's a trail of tears, for our homes we are yearning We're on a trail of tears, to were dreams go to die Aus Songtexte Mania
