post mortal possession - apparitions of black elk lyrics
the great vision bestowed upon me
being beckoned to the life tree
seeking answers from our fathers
to why we’re being slaughtered
high upon the blackened mountains
feasting upon the forbidden fruits
spiritual submerged deep within
a realm far beyond our own
decimated villages ferociously burn
illuminating the scene of butchery
snowfall encased their grim faces
their suffering is forevеr preserved
gеnocidal visions have cursed me
engulfed by our impending doom
our sacred ways die with every coming sun
extermination or assimilation
finally awakened from the nightmare
mounted high in the midst of battle
artillery claims our warriors and horses
arrows pierce their chest and skulls
blood’s fragrance intertwines with the winds
slowly, i was becoming tainted by the darkness
dipping my hands in the blood of colonizers
sawing and ripping off patches of flesh
hundreds of corpses littered the plains
scalped, mutilated and left faceless
war has infected the blood of my people
death resides within our villages
blood of our enemy spoiled the earth’s soil
we listen not to the words of our ancestors
blindly we fall before their immoral lies
we won’t be free until the last indian dies
despair has engulfed our nations, they are lost and hopeless
i am black elk
oglala lakota
