about

Originally written for and recorded by Olde Growth, Stephen came up with this alternately acoustic arrangement, which has since been subjected to further interpretation by the band

lyrics

Horses scream across the open plain
Gunfire crackles, thunder clouds the air
Fighting for the right to roam the land
White man’s got to own and bleed it dry

And so we shed these tears of blood upon the ground
As the Ancestors await us in the sky

You came, we gave, and welcomed you into the land
You lie, and steal, and butcher those who sleep at night
Make man your slave, and break his spirit as we turn to ghosts
And hide inside the shadows looking to the sky

This legacy of sorrow hangs above
Our heads just like fog upon a lake
The bottle brings a refuge from the pain
Our way of life is dead and gone away

You reap what you sow
