lyrics

Buried beneath the trees
Unmarked and unclean
Church bells deafening
Screams for their lives

Priests, nuns
Submerge the unbaptized
Drowning the Indian and not the man

The crime red skin
Wash my hands of sin
Father why can’t you find me?
Mother why can’t you help me?

Stripped of cloth and tongue
By righteous murderers
Anishinaabemowin
Strangled by holy men

Stolen from our home
All raped by cross and crown
Unintended births thrown in the furnace

The smoke billows high
Come meet us in the sky

I want to know where my son has gone
Taken so far away
I want to know where my daughter has gone
Taken so far away
I want to know
I want to know

Buried unmarked grave
Buried unmarked grave
Buried unmarked grave
Buried unmarked grave

I want to know where my son has gone
Buried unmarked grave
I want to know where my daughter has gone
Buried unmarked grave
Buried unmarked grave (I want to know)
Buried unmarked grave (I want to know)

Buried unmarked grave
Buried unmarked grave
Buried unmarked grave
Buried unmarked grave
