Groups of folk, guarded by laws
\nWritten to benefit them by their own kind
\nPillage and plunder, and tear asunder
\nHistory and heritage, profits to find.<\/p>\n
But there are people, who worship not their God
\nWho will stand the Graves of the Ancients safe to keep
\nIn the face of pressure of progress and profits
\nThey stand up to the corporates like dogs guarding sheep!<\/p>\n
From the wolves whose fangs seek to tear at the flesh
\nOf the herd that’s our history, our heritage unknown
\nIn years to come when the money is all spent
\nThe names of the fighters forgotten, their battle will be known!<\/p>\n
It was not for empire they placed themselves in danger
\nIt was not to force their culture on others against their will
\nIt was to honour those who died here before us
\nAs others will honour our corpses until
\nThere is the Resurrection, however it will be
\nBe it the Pagan way, or the way that Christ told
\nWho is not the God that the corporates worship
\nThey worship the false God… not Wicca, or Pagan…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
