10,000 Maniacs Hateful Hate Lyrics

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 hellbound journeys.
Bought and sold with a hateful hate.

Curiosity filled the b______ 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 the jungle bush safari.
Come conquer the, 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 l___ing and a greed.
Their legacy, legacy, legacy...
