Spirit Horse Of The CherokeeThe 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 he's 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 me5. BurningWe have come from the ashes of the burning awayPouring blood in the fire on the altar of painLed into temptation, now the black gods alignHere there is no salvation and your blood is my wine.Here's a world that is waiting between the living and the deadHere the flesh and its pleasure are eternally wedAll is all for the taking for a life of a lieAt the end of the breaking I'll be watching you die.Crawl to the silence renounce and deny,The stars and the numbers foretold of this time,To the words and the wisdom too the promise of liesBy their anger and fury the strong will survive.6. The Power Of Thy SwordLord of battle I pray on bended knee conquest by the rising sunI'll wait for thy command with flame and blood at handglory and a broken sword.I'm the master of the world I have no fear of man or beastBorn inside the soul of the worldRiding hard breaking bone with steel and stoneEternal might I was born to wield.Let us drink to the battles we've lived and we've foughtCelebrate the pain and havoc we have wroughtGreat heroes charge into the fightFrom the north to the south in the black of nightThe clash of honor calls to stand when others fallGods of war feel the power of my swordDrink to the battles we've lived and we've foughtCelebrate the pain and havoc we have wroughtGreat heroes charge into the fightFrom the north to the south in the black of nightFierce is my blade fierce is my hate born to die in battleI laugh at my fateNow pay in blood when your blood has been spilledYou're never forgiven death is fulfilled !The clash of honor calls to stand when others fallGods of war feel the power of my swordThe clash of honor callsI will stand when others fallOpen magic doorsThe will know the power of my swordThere is blood in my hands there is blood in my eyesWith blood in my voice I scream as you dieThirsting for vengeance and mounds of the slainShaking the forest onto the plainFierce is my blade fierce is my hate born to die in battleI laugh at my fateNow pay in blood when your blood has been spilledYou're never forgiven death is fulfilled !The clash of honor calls to stand when others fallGods of war feel the power of my sword7.

Master Of The WindIn the silence of the darkness when all are fast asleepI live inside a dream calling to your spiritAs a sail calls the wind, hear the angels singFar beyond the sun across the western skyReach into the blackness find a silver lineIn a voice I whisper a candle in the nightWe'll carry all our dreams in a single beam of lightClose your eyes, look into the dreamWinds of change will winds of fortune bringFly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to findThere the road begins where another one will endHere the four winds know who will break and who will bendAll to be the master of the windFalling stars now light my wayMy life was written on the windClouds above, clouds belowHigh ascend the dreams withinWhen the wind fills the sky the clouds will move asideAnd there will be the road to all our dreamsFor any day that stings two better days it bringsNothing is as bad as it seemsClose your eyes, look into the dreamWins of change will winds of fortune bringFly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to findThere the road begins where another one will endHere the four winds know who will break and who will bendAll to be the master of the wind
