We rode the carnival cruise over here

Just the same as you

Your carnival had games and celebration

Ours was filled with sadness and Death

You were greeted with freedom

And all we got were changed

You fought for your freedom

When we did we were all to blame

We rather die than go free

because without our contribution

Our country would not be free

You took our bodies and feasted on them

You took our inventions and claimed them

One thing you still search to acquire is unity

The smallest minority still fails to be eradicated

we will fight

we will not die.
