| Thanks for the update dewds. For those of you who don't know the background on this song, the second half has a lot of lines from The Horse Dance chapter of Black Elk Speaks, which I read for a religion class. Black Elk was the holy man of the Oglala Sioux. There's something very spiritual about this song, not just because of its origins but because of the way the words are presented. They did wonderful justice to the borrowed phrases. This song, as well as the two that follow on the album, are kind of about...yeah, our group may be a little different, but we're the same as we ever were, we're not going to hide or change anything, and in fact we are even MORE free now. And to prove it, here are ancient words passed down for generations in a way that only akron/family could present them. This song is among their best. | |

couple of minor corrections: Instead of "They'll appear, they'll appear, oh they'll(x2)" it should be: They will appear, may we behold them They will appear, may we behold them Instead of "By 18 it gold," it should be: By painting it gold change to: "We will be right where we need to be To sing a chosen song" The lyrics are much more understandable on a live clip i saw on YT. Final edit: I cannot make you Understand my soul By painting it gold For echoing rainbows What have we become In what seems only days Thoughts and world of harms We want out of this maze So look us in the eyes Don't take yes or no There's no surprise here There's nothing we won't show Please wait a while for me It will not take long We will be right where we need to be To sing a chosen song Hey, hey oh-ohh (x8) They will appear, may we behold them! They will appear, may we behold them! A horse nation will appear A thunder being nation will appear And they will appear, behold They will appear, behold They will appear, may we behold them! They will appear, may we behold them! A horse nation will appear A geese nation will appear And they will appear, behold They will appear, behold They will appear, may we behold them! They will appear, may we behold them! A horse nation will appear A buffalo nation will appear And they will appear, behold They will appear, behold They will appear, may we behold them! They will appear, may we behold them! A horse nation will appear An eagle for an eagle nation And they will appear, behold They will appear, behold They will appear, behold They will appear, behold They will appear, behold They will appear, behold They will appear, behold They will appear, behold |
