Without saving justice and fair judgment, there can be no peace. Oppressors have always sought to crush the helpless. Yet through it all, an Eternal Truth endures--haunting the dreams of all Kings and Princes who would balance their prosperity on the backs of the poor. Several of the songs on Indigenous deal with the theme of Man's oppression of Man. "Rank and Roses," "War," "Slave's Lament," "Turning Away," "Let Her Go," "Thundering In," (and to a lesser, more subtle degree)--"Eternity" all deal in some way with this theme of oppression... "Slave's Lament" and "Ae Fond Kiss" are both wonderful arrangements of songs by Robert Burns (Dougie's version of Ae Fond Kiss is one of the sweetest love songs you will ever hear).
