Forever Dead! - Disturbing Past

You're five years old
And taken away from home
Your family and friends
And everything you ever known
Taken to a place
That's run by church and state
There you're forced to assimilate
How is that for a cultural genocide

Beaten by the nuns
Raped by the priest
The abuse goes on and on
Until you turn eighteen
Then you go back home
And everything has changed
And when you close your eyes
You relive it all again
And you try anything to just forget

Apologies don't mean a thing
When it is for an others wrongdoing
Throwing money in the name of compensation
To cover up the scars of a brutalized nation
Apologies don't mean a thing
When it's for an others wrongdoing
The quest for truth and reconciliation
The dark disturbing history of our nation
