Текст песни The Donner Party

The similarities and situation
Between the Donner party and the colonial pilgrims
Is both appalling, frightening, and incomplete

In both cases, you'll find one
A fairly large group of ill prepared green horns
Pitting themselves against nature and each other
Two, an insufficient willingness to endure
The very real hardships of frontiering
And three coincidental misfortune at every turn
Number three coincidental misfortune at every turn

Disasters of both camps were initially
Brought about by departure, delay and desert, inertia
Which caused our heroes to begin their journeys
At absolutely retarded times weather wise

If fantasy is the refuge of a frightened manRasputina - The Donner Party - http://ru.motolyrics.com/rasputina/the-donner-party-lyrics.html
And a castle in the air is a safe harbor for a foolish few
Just imagine living in a hut buried twelve feet below the snow

With the sight and smell of the scattered carcasses
Of loved ones at your feet
It is the lay of the land, just another day
I would like to propose that cannibalism was indeed rampant
Among America's earliest settlers the pilgrims
Who?
The pilgrims

For what does settler imply, if not the willingness to settle?
To settle for a meal of human flesh if my thoughts on the subject
Are to be believed
In conclusion, spread the word of this
Look to the night sky, and hark back to our forefathers' shortcomings
And your own
As you cut your meat and lay the groundwork for a new tomorrow
