Dark and Deep
The people of the land
Were taken away
Assimilation
That's the word of the day
The children had no chance
No place to hide
Their hearts and minds
Were buried deep inside
They put their souls down
Dark and Deep
Buried their lives down
Dark and Deep
They put their souls down
Dark and Deep
They heard them yell
"What are you doing to me?"
The missionaries
They knew what they wanted
Indigenous no more
No longer needed
The government had taken
Hold of the reins
No languages or faith
No culture remains
They put their souls down
Dark and Deep
Buried their lives down
Dark and Deep
They put their souls down
Dark and Deep
They heard them yell
"What are you doing to me?"
They put their souls down
Dark and Deep
Buried their lives down
Dark and Deep
They put their souls down
Dark and Deep
They heard them yell
"What are you doing to me?"
Were taken away
Assimilation
That's the word of the day
The children had no chance
No place to hide
Their hearts and minds
Were buried deep inside
They put their souls down
Dark and Deep
Buried their lives down
Dark and Deep
They put their souls down
Dark and Deep
They heard them yell
"What are you doing to me?"
The missionaries
They knew what they wanted
Indigenous no more
No longer needed
The government had taken
Hold of the reins
No languages or faith
No culture remains
They put their souls down
Dark and Deep
Buried their lives down
Dark and Deep
They put their souls down
Dark and Deep
They heard them yell
"What are you doing to me?"
They put their souls down
Dark and Deep
Buried their lives down
Dark and Deep
They put their souls down
Dark and Deep
They heard them yell
"What are you doing to me?"
