Pocahontas Page #6

[cheering]

What can you expect

from filthy little heathens?

Here's what you get

when races are diverse

Their skin's a hellish red

They're only good when dead

They're vermin as I said and worse

They're savages, savages

- Barely even human

- Savages, savages

Drive them from our shore!

They're not like you and me

Which means they must be evil

We must sound the drums of war

They're savages, savages

Dirty, shrieking devils

Now we sound the drums of war

This is what we feared

The paleface is a demon

The only thing

they feel at all is greed

Beneath that milky hide

There's emptiness inside

I wonder if they even bleed

They're savages, savages

Barely even human

Savages, savages

Killers at the core

They're different from us

Which means they can't be trusted

We must sound the drums of war

They're savages, savages

First we deal with this one

Then we sound the drums of war

Savages, savages

Let's go get a few, men!

Savages, savages

Now it's up to you, men!

- Savages

- Savages

Barely even human

Now we sound the drums

Of war

They're going to kill him at sunrise,

Grandmother Willow.

You have to stop them.

- I can't.

- Child, remember your dream.

I was wrong, Grandmother Willow.

I followed the wrong path.

I feel so lost.

[chittering]

[whining]

[purring]

The compass.

The spinning arrow.

It's the arrow from your dream!

I was right. It was pointing to him!

- Sunrise.

- It's not too late, child!

Let the spirits of the earth guide you!

You know your path, child.

Now follow it!

This will be the day

Let's go, men!

This will be the morning

Bring out the prisoner!

We will see them dying in the dust

I don't know what I can do

Still I know I've got to try

Now we make them pay

Eagle, help my feet to fly

Now, without a warning

Mountain, help my heart be great

Now we leave them

blood and bone and rust

- Spirits of the earth and sky

- It's them or us

Please don't let it be too late

They're a bunch of

filthy, stinking savages

- Savages

- Demons

- Devils

- Kill them!

- Savages

- Savages

What are we waiting for?

Destroy their evil race

until there's not a trace left

How loud are the drums of war?

Now we see what comes

of trying to be chums

Is the death of all I love

carried in the drumming of

- War

- No!

If you kill him,

you'll have to kill me too.

Daughter, stand back.

I won't! I love him, Father.

Look around you.

This is where the path

of hatred has brought us.

This is the path I choose, Father.

What will yours be?

[wind whistling]

My daughter speaks

with a wisdom beyond her years.

We have all come here

with anger in our hearts,

but she comes with

courage and understanding.

From this day forward,

if there is to be more killing

it will not start with me.

Release him.

Now is our chance! Fire!

- [Thomas] No.

- What?

- They let him go!

- They don't want to fight!

It's a trick, don't you see? Fire!

Fine! I'll settle this myself.

No!

John!

You shot him!

He stepped right into it!

It's his own fault!

[Ben] Smith was right all along.

[man] We never

should've listened to you.

- [Ben] Get the gun!

- Traitors!

Unhand me, I say. How dare you!

Put him in chains!

I'll see you all hanged for this!

- And gag him as well!

- [grunting, yelling]

[seagulls cry]

Is he going to make it, Thomas?

The sooner he gets to England,

the better.

Let's hope the wind is with him.

- Is the ship ready yet?

- Any minute now.

Just loading the last bit of cargo.

[muffled screaming]

Untie me at once!

I'll have your head for this!

[sniffling] And he came

so highly recommended.

[sighing]

The ship's almost ready.

We'd better get you on board.

We'll lose the tide.

No, not yet. She said she'd be here.

Look.

Going back is his only chance.

He'll die if he stays here.

Here.

It's from Grandmother Willow's bark.

It'll help with the pain.

What pain?

I've had worse pain than this.

Can't think of any right now, but...

You are always welcome

among our people.

Thank you, my brother.

- I thought you didn't like strangers.

- [chirps]

My mother's necklace.

- [whimpering]

- See ya, Percy.

[sneezing]

Come with me'?

You must choose your own path.

I'm needed here.

Then... I'll stay with you.

No. You have to go back.

- But I can't leave you.

- You never will.

No matter what happens,

I'll always be with you...

...forever.

- Good luck, lad.

- Godspeed, John.

- [man] The crew a-ready?

- [man 2] Aye, sir!

Set the mainsails.

[man] Weigh anchor!

[man 2] Let go of the topgallants!

[panting]

[wind singing]
