Song lyrics

Run to the Hills -Iron Maiden

The white man came across the sea, 
He brought us pain and misery.
He killed our tribe, he killed our creed, 
He took our game for his own need.
We fought him hard, we fought him well. 
Out on the plains, we gave him Hell.
But many came to much for Cree, 
Oh will we ever be set free? 

Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes, Galloping hard on the plains.
Chasing the Redskins back to their holes, 
Fighting them at their own game.
Murder for freedom, stab in the back. 
Women and children are cowards, attack!

Run to the hills;
Run for your lives!
Run to the hills;
Run for your lives! 

Soldier blue in the barren wastes, hunting and killing's the game.
Raping the women and wasting the men, 
The only good Injuns are tame.
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold, Enslaving the young and destroying the old!

Run to the hills, run for your lives!
Run to the hills, run for your lives!

Run to the hills; 
Run for your lives!
Run to the hills; 
Run for your lives!

The song, Run to the Hills, by Iron Maiden, talks about the american colonization by europeans, and basically all the problems that this caused, for example the murders, the use of slaves, etc. 
The song portrays an image of an ''evil'' white man (who came across the sea...), who only brought to the native americans pain, misery and suffering, by using strong words like the ones already used, words like ''murder'', or phrases that give you the idea of destruction like ''Run for your lives''. In other words, run to save your life from this invader (the white man... who came across the sea). As well, the image of this ''destructive man'' is empowered by the appeal of the innocent tribes of the american in front of someone who only came to kill, ''The good guys who fight for their freedom Vs the Bad intruders''.
