What can you expect
From filthy little heathens?
Their whole disgusting race is like a curseTheir skin′s a hellish red
They're only good when dead
They′re vermin, as I said
And worse
They're savages! Savages!
Barely even human
Savages! Savages!
Drive them from our shore!
They're not like you and me
Which means they must be evil
We must sound the drums of war!
They′re savages! Savages!
Dirty redskin devils!
Now we sound the drums of war!
This is what we feared
The paleface is a demon
The only thing they feel at all is greed
Beneath that milky hide
There′s emptiness inside
I wonder if they even bleed
They're savages! Savages!
Barely even human
Savages! Savages!
Killers at the core
They′re different from us
Which means they can't be trusted
We must sound the drums of war
They′re savages! Savages!
First we deal with this one
Then we sound the drums of war
Savages! Savages!
Let's go kill a few, men!
Savages! Savages!
Now it′s up to you, men!
Savages! Savages!
Barely even human!
Now we sound the drums of war!
Is there nothing I can do?
Will this really be the end?
Is it only death that waits
Just around the riverbend?
This will be the day ...
(Let's go men!)
This will be the morning ...
(Bring out the prisoner)
We will see them dying in the dust
I don't know what I can do
Still, I know I′ve got to try
Now we make ′em pay
Eagle, help my feet to fly
Now without a warning ...
Mountain, help my heart be great
Now we leave 'em blood and bone and rust
Spirits of the earth and sky ...
It′s them or us
Please don't let it be to late ...
They′re just a bunch of
Filthy, stinking
Savages!
Savages!
Demons!
Devils!
Kill them!
Savages!
Savages!
What are we waiting for?
Destroy their evil race
Until there's not a trace left
How loud are the drums of war
We will sound the drums of war
(Savages! Savages!)
Now, we sound the drums of war
(Savages! Savages!)
Now we see what comes
Of trying to be chums
Now we sound the drums ... of ... war!
Of course it means the drums ... of ... war!
Is the death of all I love
Carried in the drumming of war?
