Hourglass: Tears in Wounded Knee - Dreams Factory

Описание: Hourglass: Tears in Wounded Knee - Dreams Factory

The wind blew free across the Dakota plains
Before the iron cut the earth, before the final chains.
They came with crosses, paper, and the shine of cold steel,
Promising a peace that time would soon unseal.
"As long as the grass grows and the rivers flow,"
Said the voices of men who had nowhere to go.

So, bury my heart at the bend of the stream
Where the blood turned to ice and dissolved the dream.
Don’t take me to the East, where the soul is leaden and gray,
Leave my spirit where the people were taken away.
Wounded Knee is the scar that time refuses to mend,
Where the hope of a nation met its bitter end.

We walked the trails of tears under a leaden sun,
Watching the buffalo fall till there were none.
Cochise, Geronimo, Crazy Horse, and Sitting Bull,
Names the dust of history tried to keep dull.
They gave us reservations, fences, and a hollow hand,
But you cannot put shackles on the spirit of the land.

They signed the treaties with hands that felt no shame,
They lied at the council in the Great Father's name.
What is a border to those born of the horizon's light?
What is gold compared to the water’s sacred right?
The gunpowder spoke louder than honor or grace,
And "Civilization" became the death of a race.

Now the asphalt covers what was once holy ground,
But on moonlit nights, the past is the only sound.
The cry of Sand Creek still echoes through the canyon walls,
The Ghost Dance lingers where the shadow falls.
We were not defeated; we were only pushed aside,
Into names of rivers where the ancient spirits hide.

Bury my heart at the bend of the stream
Where the blood turned to ice and dissolved the dream.
Don’t take me to the East, where the soul is leaden and gray,
Leave my spirit where the people were taken away.
Wounded Knee is the scar that time refuses to mend,
Where the hope of a nation met its bitter end.

Bury my heart...
At the river's bend...
Where the grass still tries to grow.
Where the river still tries to flow.
