last pages - lost nation road lyrics

[verse 1]
iron horses cut across the plains
tatanka falls beneath their ruthless bullet rains
endless floods of white water raged
while the people drowned in the heartless coming age

[chorus]
tell me how the west was won
along that tearful trail
of broken treaties and rails
no manifest, no destination
wandering with no salvation
a lost nation
a lost nation’s road

[verse 2]
cavalries of priests and generals making way for pioneers
to discover what had long been found
burn their world with a grin such a ruthless indignation
and now we’re riding off to our violent occasion

[chorus]
tell me how the west was won
along that tearful trail
of broken treaties and rails
no manifest, no destination
wandering with no salvation
a lost nation
a lost nation’s road
[verse 3]
turner’s frontier was only a vista in their mind
while ghostly dancers left their broken bodies behind
from the waters of a wounded creek came a rising incantation
the old ones will rise again to reclaim their lost nation

[chorus]
tell me how the west was won
along that tearful trail
of broken treaties and rails
no manifest, no destination
wandering with no salvation
a lost nation
a lost nation’s road
