Wampum Prayer Lyrics

Lyric discussion by UrbanGriever 

Cover art for Wampum Prayer lyrics by Tori Amos

Ahhh ... sorry:

"There [in Tucson] Scarlet picks up the voice of the Native American ancestors on WAMPUM PRAYER after visiting the site of a massacre of the Apache people. "She has a dream and follows the voice and prayer of an old woman who survived and whose song is woven into the land." There's an obvious parallel with the songlines of Aboriginal folklore in Australia as Scarlet is propelled by the dream until she reaches Cherokee country and the ancestry of her own people."
