Manowar - The Spirit Horse Of The Cherokee Lyrics
The trail of tears began for all the cherokeeThe white men came to trade & borrow but then they would not leaveSome of us were taken by boat, and died at seaThose of us who lived were sold to slaveryWe welcomed them as brothers knowing nothing of their greedBorn hunters not the hunted as the white man hunts for meWe are descendants of the animals we live among the freeOur trail of tears would end one day at wounded knee.Great spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and freeTo fight and die by the open sky, spirit horse ride for meWhen we do the ghost dance, the buffalo will returnPaint ourselves for war, now blood and fire burnGreat spirit makes us strong, take us to the skyThe cherokee are brave, we are not afraid to dieGreat spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and freeTo fight and die by the open sky, spirit horse ride for meRed cloud, black hawk, sitting bull, crazy horse, geronimoStrong and brave warriors to the graveThere has been much killing there will be much moreThe medicine man is dancing hes calling us to war,Hatchets sing with pride let the white men dieGreat spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and freeTo fight and die by the open sky, spirit horse ride for me
