10000 Maniacs - Hateful Hate Lyrics
In the dark night a giant slumbered untouched for centuries
'til awakened by a white man's cry: "This is the Eden I was to find."
There were lands to be charted and to be claimed for a crown,
when a hero was made by the length he could stay in this dangerous land of hateful hate.
Curiosity killed the best of these for a hero's hometown welcoming.
Still they moved on and on.
Who came building missions?
Unswerving men of the cloth who gave their lives in numbers untold so that black sheep entered the fold.
Captured like human livestock, destined for slavery.
Naked, walked to the shore where great ships moored for the hellbound journies.
Bought and sold with a hateful hate.
Curiosity filled the breasts of these with some strange ecstasy.
Still they moved on and on.
Calling men of adventure for a jungle bush safari.
Come conquer the, his claws and teeth.
See death in his eyes to know you're alive.
European homesteads grew up in the colonies with civilized plans for wild hinterlands, their guns and God willing.
Such a hateful hate.
Curiosity spilled the blood of these for their spotted skins and ivory.
Curiosity filled the heads of these madmen with the lies of destiny.
Curiosity spilled the blood of these, then blotted their lives from history.
Curiosity filled the heads of these, one man claimed all that he could see.
Curiosity still entices these madmen with a lusting and a greed.
Their legacy, legacy, legacy...

Good stuff ...love it ....last pic. So true ....
As much as I love Natalie Merchant,this song is full of many mistruths .. Africa was exploited long before white men ever stepped foot on the continent .. Muslims had been capturing African slaves long before the estabishment of Western Society.. Matter of fact, slavery in the west was a fortnight compared to the rest of the world,and no other people fought a war to end it .. Meanwhile, slavery is still very much alive in Africa,and parts of Asia... Fact!!
Of all the lyric videos I've watched on here, this has to be one of the best. I think Natalie would appreciate this. Thank you.
Beautiful and haunting.
Very nicely done with the pics.
TREMENDO TEMA EN LO MUSICAL Y POR EL MENSAJE. LA VOCALISTA ES NATHALIE MERCHANT?. MARAVILLOSA!!!!
