For all of our languages we can't communicate
For all of our native tongues we're all natives here
Sons of their fathers' dream the same dream
The sound of forbidden words becomes a scream
Voices in anger, victims of history
Plundered and set aside, grow fat on swallowed pride

With promises of paradise and gifts of beads and knives
Missionaries and pioneers are soldiers in disguise
Saviours and Conquerers, they make us wait
Like fishers of men they wave their truth like bait
But with the touch of a stranger's hand innocence turns to shame
The spirit that dwelt within now sleeps out in the rain

For all of our languages we can't communicate,
For all of our native tongues, we're all natives here
The scars of the past are slow to disappear
The cries of the dead are always in our ears
And only the very safe can talk about wrong and right
Of those who are forced to choose, some will choose to fight

This was actually the first video I posted on VS when I joined up, it was downvoted and killed off by SnakePlissken at the time, he thought it was a WarGasm video... obviously he wasn't listening to the song.

No it was made by the CBC for Veterans Day last year. Those are all Canadian troops. Look for the shoulder flash's and the berrys.

can dig the sentiment, never was one for war ballads..... think battle should have a heavy metal soundtrack m'self

Thanks a lot for clearing up the origins Tracon...

interesting... not something I would expect from the CBC, yet it also seemed to be 'washed' of most Canadian imagery (it wasn't obviously Canadian - no clear maple leaf shoulder patches, etc). Anyways, the moral of the story is don't fuck with Canada.
