Time was his dwelling Seasons his gods Life a fierce warrior Death his most sacred ritual within the fire And within his chants His quest, wisdom His rest, his journey Where he lived, these chants symbolized abundance And the woman, renewal and respect He lives where all legends begin
Here is the story of this legend, that of the shaman
Oh shaman, spirit of the forest Sage among all sages Your people live through you Through your eyes...
O shaman... Worshiper of the eagle Of pure convictions in your beleifs Take my hand, take me where those who love Through your eyes Become one sole being
Show me the lakes where your ancestors were bathed In order to be marked by your sign Show me mountains of the north Prairies of the south, horizons from the west to the east Show me your flesh...
Your people were and will be noble in my heart Your blazing name still and forever keeps my dream Of your savage domain O dream of crystal, the leaves, entwined Remain the sole trace of your mark
