The Spoils of Treason |

We had grown tired of this endless war. |
| [01:05.15] |
We thought it was time to leave and to govern ourselves. |
| [01:22.75] |
Fearing punishment for our betrayal, |
| [01:26.15] |
We asked our old enemies to defend our cities. |
| [01:50.01] |
They kept the King's forces at bay, |
| [01:57.42] |
But it had cost us all we ever had. |
| [02:22.98] |
After they had consumed most of our stock, |
| [02:27.21] |
They forced our children to serve |
| [02:31.56] |
As their soldiers in the war, |
| [02:34.77] |
From which we only tried to escape. |
| [02:39.95] |
"We saw the smoke rising" |
| [02:43.74] |
From beyond the forest's canopy |
| [02:48.44] |
The sight made our hearts fill with sorrow. |
| [02:57.05] |
So many lives wasted, |
| [03:00.69] |
In spite of our warnings. |
| [03:05.41] |
Could we have done more to keep them from leaving?" |
| [03:30.36] |
On our search for independence |
| [03:34.53] |
We lost all the freedom we once had. |
| [03:38.74] |
We are now little more than slaves in our own country, |
| [04:01.80] |
Cheated into a life of misery. |
| [04:04.36] |
After they had consumed |
| [04:06.90] |
most of our stock, |
| [04:08.75] |
they forced our children to serve |
| [04:13.11] |
as their soldiers in the war, |
| [04:16.18] |
from which we only |
| [04:17.83] |
tried to escape. |
| [04:21.66] |
"We saw the smoke rising" |
| [04:25.29] |
From beyond the forest's canopy |
| [04:29.94] |
The sight made our hearts fill with sorrow. |
| [04:38.18] |
So many lives wasted, |
| [04:41.87] |
in spite of our warnings. |
| [04:46.44] |
Could we have done more |
| [04:49.60] |
to keep them from leaving?" |
