Legacy from Technicolour Education by Only A Visitor

North from California
Eastward from the sea
Labour from the orient
Riches that they seek
Purchasing a promise
With weathered broken bones
Told to look elsewhere to build their homes

40 years thereafter
Humiliation day
Footsteps of their fathers
No fee would let them take
Opportunistic pressures
Severing sacred bonds
Resilience had nurtured
Again the West had wronged

And through the night on tracks of steel
Containers rolling west
Travel over graves of men
The granite laid to rest
Who cracked the mountain ramparts
Payed to pave the colony
To race the roaring Fraser to the sea

Oh for just one time
To complete the Northwest Passage
With glowing hearts they brought you to these golden plated hills
In your bag supplied
Dynamite and one last message
To send to all your family over the sea
