lyrics

Many, many years ago, people from a far, far place 
Decided to get on ships and they loaded all their guns 
Filled up all their supplies, with the blessing of their Kings
 Some instead had Queens, so they set off to the seas  

In search of greater wealth and to spread their influence
 In places called New Worlds which actually existed 
Longer than their forefathers while they may be ignorant 
They were very confident, they were very confident  

Many, many months had passed, some docked at the ports 
While some just sank into the sea, (but) for those that did survive
 Traded with orientals, some a bit more exotic 
Set up forts in foreign lands, with power in their hands  

I’ll defend my koloni!!! (x4)

  So now boundaries were drawn, local communities torn 
Those who did not obey hurt, some faced/fates even worst 
They began first as merchants, now they grew into tyrants
 Local Kings got compromised, or met their demise  

I’ll defend my koloni!!! (x4)
