- 新聞
Load the Ivory is about the demise of the British empire and some of the atrocities they committed. Load the Ivory refers to them packing up and ramping up production, in there final days of colonialisation.
Over 30,000 tonnes of elephant tusks were sent back to the UK during the African Colonial period. Can you imagine how many elephants would have to have had been poached to reach such a figure? Not to mention the British involvement of the Slave trade, a horrific period in human history.
Lyrics.
seems the sun finally set, where the burning furnace sun never set,
sun they never get, bet it still burns, rightfully glum n wet,
undone, succumb, to tons of debt,
sons they never let, learn their dark history,
history lesson started yesterday
The rape and pillage of the Danes still circles our brains
but the wains know fuck all about atrocities
democracy killed Socrates
Not washing hands caused diseases
The middle ages were riddled with sieges
British rulers of the seven seas swept Beaches
slave traders enter the fray
British rulers of the seven seas swept Beaches
slave traders enter the bay
seems the sun finally set, where the burning furnace sun never set,
sun they never get, bet it still burns, rightfully glum n wet,
undone, succumb, to tons of debt,
sons they never let, learn their dark history,
history lesson started yesterday
The rape and pillage of the danes still circles our brains
but the wains know fuck all about atrocities
Load the Ivory,
You heard the man
Load the Ivory,
To the crack of the rulers Whip
Load the Ivory
ruling with so much impunity
shoot cannons at African Mutiny
Shoot cannons to dampen the scrutiny
shoot, look what happens
when they starve a whole damn community
Get back in line, Load the Ivory!
seems the sun finally set, where the burning furnace sun never set,
sun they never get, bet it still burns, rightfully glum n wet,
undone, succumb, to tons of debt,
sons they never let, learn their dark history,
history lesson started yesterday
The rape and pillage of the Danes still circles our brains
but the wains know fuck all about atrocities
