A black snake beneath the ground Extinction dripping from his mouth Poisons water, hearts of men Who choke the sky and rape the land A legacy of endless greed Manifested destiny Draws a map of stolen names The truth is known but nothing's changed But on the bitter winds We fly, I come to you I come to you To where the seven fires burn We ride, to stand with you To stand with you One hundred years and more have passed Since blood was spilled that greased the grass Across the river hired guns Are standing on a hill of bones They built a deadly liquid road A deed to that which can't be owned Beneath the eyes of iron hawks I stand with those who won't be bought Yes on the bitter winds We fly, I come to you I come to you To where the seven fires burn We ride, to stand with you (we ride) To stand with you A black snake beneath the ground Extinction dripping from his mouth Poisons water, hearts of men Who choke the sky and rape the land I stand with you To the sky voices singing On and on, never ending In the night drums are beating On and on, never ending
