Creek Mary's Blood

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 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 Following the trail of tears Once we were here Where we have been since the world began Since time itself gave us this land Hanhepi iyuha mi ihanbla ohinni yelo On sunkmanitutankapi hena sunkawakanpi watogha hena oblaye t'ankapi oihankesni hena T'at'epi kin asni kiyasni he akatanhanpi iwankal Oblaye t'anka kin osicesni mitakuyepi on Makoce kin wakan Wakan Tanka kin on Miwicala ohinni Hanhepi iyuha kici Anpetu iyuha kici yelo Mi yececa hehaka kin yelo, na ni yececa sunkmanitutankapi kin ka mikaga wowasaka isom Uncinpi tuweni nitaku keyas ta k'u Unwakupi e'cela e wiconi wanji unmakainapi ta yelo Anpetu waste e wan olowan le talowan winyan ta yelo Unwanagi pi lel e nita it'okab o'ta ye Untapi it'okab o'ta Na e kte ena on hanska ohakap ni itansni a'u nita ni ihanke yelo 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
