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, filled the heads of these   There was an upper room, they had to see   Curiosity, killed the best of these   For a hero's hometown welcoming      Still they moved on and on and   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 hell bound journeys   Bought and sold with a hateful hate      Curiosity, filled the breasts of these   With some strange ecstasy   Curiosity, killed the best of these   By robbing their lives of dignity      Still they moved on and on and   Calling men of adventure for a jungle bush safari   Come conquer the peace, 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, 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
