lyrics

Pilgrims of the great north sea noble and worthy travellers are we
Rule Britannia, commanders of the waves superior to other men, who'll die being our slaves

These shores are fresh like virgins, the land we are to claim
Flags announcing from the sand it's us who are to reign
The creatures that reside here, are savages and beasts
We'll capture, rape and murder them, upon their flesh we'll feast

Terra Nullius, Terra Nullius But the land is ours, it's now ours, TN, Your land is ours, you are ours

With weapons made of steel, disease and white power
Your women we will ravage, your land we will devour
Your children will be taken and raised against their own
Or buried neck deep in the burning sand battered by our stones
Your water we will poison, your gods we will abolish
We'll string you up we'll burn you down You won't just be admonished
We'll instil the deepest sense of fear inside your starving bodies
You'll die inside our prisons, or be struck down with our disease

These national holidays of fireworks and flags
An insult to the ones who'll never take their lives back
These history books of white supremacy and western victory
Will never do justice to the worlds they have attacked
Asia, Australia, Africa, India, the middle east, canada, north and south america
Islands far out in the sea, or ice where we're not meant to be
The boats sail in, the triggers pulled, war's declared, we'll kill them all
Eurocentric dominance, imperialistic ignorance
Our children never learn the truth, so they grow up being racist too
And all the while we still hate, imprison, torture, murder, rape
Rule Britannia, bow down slaves,
Rule Britannia, bow down slaves!
