Creek Mary's Blood Lyrics

Album: Once

Soon I will be here no more!

You'll hear the tale through my blood,

through my people and the eagle's cry

The bear within will never lay to rest.

Wandering on Horizon Road

Following the trail of tears

White man came and saw the blessed land.

We cared, you took, you fought, we lost

not the war but an unfair fight.

Sceneries painted beautiful in blood

Wandering on Horizon Road

Following the trail of tears.

Once we were here,

where we have lived since

the world began, since time

itself gave us this land.

Our souls will join again the wild

Our home in peace 'n war 'n death

Wandering on Horizon Road...

"I still dream every night

Of them wolves, them mustangs, those endless prairies

The restless winds over mountaintops

The unspoilt frontier of my kith n'kin

The hallowed land of the Great Spirit

I still believe

In every night

In every day

I am like the caribou

And you like the wolves that make me stronger

We never owed you anything

Our only debt is one life for our Mother

It was a good day to chant this song

For Her

Our spirit was here long before you

Long before us

And long will it be after your pride brings you to your end"
