Guys, The Original name of this song was "Comanche". I am pretty sure its about the tribe face death in a fight against the new US government and how they did it with such pride. They died willingly. If they killed people they would rip out the heart of a leader during battle.

The Comanche are know in history for responding to a General in the meeting on the battlefield before battle, when face with 1,000 to 1 odds against them, they would bravely claim, "I'll cut your armies down and tear out your heart."

The "She" could be the spirit of the native tribes of America.

It could also have double meaning. It could also be about a prostitute.
