Trespass

I watched them rolling on the waves From the cliffs at dawn I felt the sun upon my face I began to run. What did we do to bring this evil On our kind? I grabbed my children from their beds And hushed their whines. As the shaman looked for signals in the sky While the rest prepared to heed the battle cry. War painted bodies gathered Implements of death While songs as old as time Rang out on everything breath. I told the four winds Take my spirit if you must Then made my peace and walked off Proudly with the dust. As the shaman looked for signals in the sky While the rest prepared to heed the battle cry. As you try to stomp us out And forget our names, no. This land will swallow you The land and people are one and the same
