about

From the forthcoming album “NecroEclosion” on Black Doomba Records.

lyrics

We once lived here freely, raised our children on these plains
Pale greedy thieves invaded, steeling our plains away
Land swindled, left with nothing, our lives ripped from us
We only have each other, may not be enough

Ghost Dance – defy oppression,
Ghost Dance – raise our dead
Ghost Dance – new earth forms,
Ghost Dance - beneath our feet
Ghost...Dance...Ghost...Dance...

Return from shining mountains, Short Bull and Kicking Bear
Bring words from Wovoka, carry on through ghost dance
Dance to raise the fallen, warriors from then and now
In the sky, all together, in defiance we will dance

Ghost Dance – old souls and dancers,
Ghost Dance – bring on new soil
Ghost Dance – white devil buried,
Ghost Dance – will live on

Ghost... Dance...Ghost...Dance...

They killed Sitting Bull. They’re taking all our guns.
Outnumbered & out armed, Ghost Dance our last defense
Soldiers surrounding us, waiting for surrender.
We do nothing now, we will dance
Dancing until we are aloft as one.
Invite the Earth to swallow our foes
New soil will cover the pale enemy.
Wovoka says Earth will be ours

Confusion scattering, fleeing bullets flying.
Cowardly murdering old, young & unarmed
Watching people die, just lies stacked on lies.
Ghost dance was not enough!

“There is no center... The Sacred Tree is dead...”
