lyrics

When the flaming arrows came
and the bells were ringing your name
and the north star moved the same way
down the same way we came
And we built our houses on some prairie road
without that needle in our chest
without the stories we've been told

but o! are we suddenly ready to go?
did they tell you what you want to know?
so they told you to ride, but don't ask them no questions, they'll tell you no lies
and o! are you out in the shivering cold
but if there's a moment a brother should know
you don't get to see us down so take us all out of here

When we dug our shallow graves
and they covered them with dust and sand
and they fixed our eyes and then poisoned our veins
then they poisoned the land
and the sky fell down as you stood by my hand
but we are full grown up men
we take good care of ourselves
for a decision we make there's only broken hearts
and there's sorrow to accept
and it all fell down before our eyes could react
but it's all gone by now
we should have known a lot better than that
