• Blood & Muskets

The first time I saw you it was raining
It was coming down so hard that I could barely bloody see
We couldn't keep the company's spirits up
It was plain that many men were on the verge of mutiny
But you covered us in feathers
And skins to keep us warm
And sheletered us in teepees from the storm

And we buried your hearts at Wounded Knee
Where the white man's muskets claimed a strange victory
The ground where you stand is sacred land
From the plains of the Dakotas to the cool Rio Grande

And the next time I saw you you were weeping
A broken heart inside a broken man
Struggling to raise your children up
Whilst exiled in a harsh and barren land
'Cuz we took your home for our home
And your women for our wives
And we slaughtered all the buffalo for their hides

And we buried your hearts at Wounded Knee
And called it our manifest destiny
The ground where you stand is sacred land
From the plains of the Dakotas to the cool Rio Grande

And the third time I saw you you were fighting
You'd rather lose your life than lose your precious land
Bravely you held your head up
As your brothers fell about you in the sand
And you looked so grand and noble
As you stood your ground in vain
Until I put a bullet in your brain

And we buried your hearts at Wounded Knee
In the name of progress and Christianity
The ground where you stand is sacred land
From the plains of the Dakotas to the cool Rio Grande

Yeah the ground where we stand is sacred land
And we all got blood of one form or another on our hands
