What did they want ?

They wanted us

They wanted to exploit us

They wanted to exploit us as prestige objects of their power

They wanted what we could give them

not us

And now we are no more

We are just a fairy tale

A story, not real

A fairy tale passed on by those who are like them

You as a heroine, we as a monster,

You as savior, we as victims

Victims who have been taken from their homes

Monsters who have polluted their civilized country

Mythical creatures have no home

Their home is those who pass on their story

Is it really a home if it's told by the wrong people?

We look for those who can truly bring us home

we are looking for peace
