Christopher Columbus - Gruff Rhys

I dream of freedom

See no rhyme

In your reason to resist

Resist the power

By the hour

Ask the people to assist

In isolation we were beautiful

Cultured and content

Civilization bought diseases

Now we breathe your devil scent

And just like Christopher Columbus

After 1492

And just like Christopher Columbus

You had a lot to answer fortunately

Me and you are through

Hope over reason

The last bastion

Of division and dissent

Rebuilding bridges

Climb the ridges

Declarations of intent

If we could harness all the firepower

Turn it on itself

We could shine brightly

Phosphorescent

Seize the life upon it’s shelf

And just like Christopher Columbus

After 1492

And just like Christopher Columbus

You had a lot to answer fortunately

Me and you are through

And just like Christopher Columbus

After 1492

And just like Christopher Columbus

You had a lot to answer for

And just like Christopher Columbus

After 1492

And just like Christopher Columbus

You had a lot to answer fortunately

Me and you are through
