about

This song is based off the life of historical figure Hannah Duston (born Hannah Emerson, December 23, 1657 – c. 1736)

lyrics

Hatchets and scalps,
Bronze monuments
Teach the children
That history condones violence
And what's the value
Of human hair
With bloody roots?
Take what you can spare.
Imagine no buildings,
Constant hunger pains,
No laws on the frontier,
Nothing dry in this rain,
Your own child's brain
Scattered across tree bark
Left to be picked out
Or for wolves to tear apart.
Plot revenge
Defense and death
Then live with the consequences.
Dreams of blood.
Haunted by native faces.
No one should condone,
No one should dismiss.
Nothing done here
deserves awards,
There's no baby home to kiss.
Just leave me alone
And let me lament.
Disappear through the years.
There's no need for names in cement
