The priest of a thousand muskets

How the steel ball shook the chamber as it launched toward an adversary
Tell us more give us details, intrigue us!
The boats were carried inland by the soldiers and priests
And where were the natives as the colonists landed?
Their location was only meters from the stumbling invaders

Violence and fear became the forest that day
Divulge indeed what were the details how did the conflict ensue?
Muskets roared and swords were drawn, painful handshakes with death
Which side lost more? Who came out on top? Who was left standing to meet victory?
Both sides lost equivalent yet the natives held higher numbers and the conflict was swift!
So what of the priests, did they fall? Were they eaten? How'd they fare?

One priest escaped with his life, was soon caught and recruited by a tribe
yet he set fire to their old customs, perpertrated atrocities on their identity
He assassinated their harmony with nature and invited foul distrust of women
Singlehandedly under minded their very heritage
With a book in his hand he did more damage than a thousand muskets
As the crown devised a plan to overrun them entirely
