Walking trails, soaked by our tears 
Traveling miles and miles from home 
Blood still stains the ground we walked 
Soaking into the roots of trees 
Giving strength to mother earth 
This land is not their land 
Head held high above the torment 
Tousands die in wars 
Murdered, killed, and slaughtered 
Hear the hearts of our lost warriors 
Beating to the pounding drum 
This ground was once ours 
Now a wasteland of destruction 
Polluting the waters we drink 
Polluting the air we breathe 
Forced in the corner suffocating 
Outcasts grouping for the next to ride 
Through a smoke filled remonition 
Tellers of the future speaking of the new beginning 
One warrior will rise to defend against this place 
A killa of anybody, who goes against you and I 
Thousands of souls giving him power 
Anybody kills until the future is fulfilled 
Through darkness light shines under the rain from the diamonds 
Showering upon the same roots 
Roots that we shared with blood 
Let those roots bring the tree 
The tree that brings truth to this beginning
