there's something else towards the end of the song... It sounds like a civil rights activist or something, but it's quite hard to understand anybody know what this is? |

| Godspeed You! Black Emperor – The Dead Flag Blues Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| It's not neccessarily about the end of the world as much as it is about the demise of Native Americans and Native American culture. The narration in the beginning symbolizes the time when U.S. settlers came and pillaged indian camps. The train sounds symbolize when people came to settle on the indian territory. the second wave of narration represents when the indians were moved to other lands. The "wallet full of blood" represents the lives lost by both indians and pioneers. After the narrator stops speaking, you see a change in the style of music, from more slow and monotonous to a more western style. the last two minutes of the song is happy and cheerful, symbolizing our own apathy towards the struggles of Native Americans. | |
