Joshua C Love - Sad Eyes II Lyrics

We came, we fought you
We took your land
We signed treaties that we broke
We stole minerals from your sacred hills
We blasted the faces of our Presidents
Onto your sacred mountain
We took still more land
We took your children
And then we tried to take your language
We tried to eliminate your language
That God gave you
And that the creator gave you
We didn't respect you
We polluted your earth
We hurt you in so many ways
And we are here to say, that we are sorry
And we are at your service
These sad eyes, you need me
To fall from these black skies
In order to reach
You speak like devils
Vengeance is calling
This ice has not mercy
This smoke is for breathing
This kerosene is not easy
Patience is a virtue
The slow hand to slaughter
The silence will take you
Take you take you
These glass eyes, you feed me
The passions of friction
In order to free
These cannons
Upon you have eyes now
The world is your conscience
Our fingertips feel you
Feel you
We feel you
We feel you
Feel you
I am strong
In these arms
I am armed with these scars
We are the earth
We are the stars
We are the movers of this cause
We are the people hand in hand
We are the water of this land
We are the people that have fallen
We are the people that now stand
I am strong
In these arms
I am armed with these scars
We are the earth
We are the stars
We are the movers of this cause
We are the people hand in hand
We are the water of this land
We are the people that have fallen
We are the people that now stand
The trail of tears runs deep through the timber
You may hear their souls as they shiver
You may lay the skulls of these buffalo down
You can't break the songs of our elders
You may shake the pulse of these pillars
You may tear the walls of these temples down
But I am strong
In these arms
I am armed with these scars
We are the earth
We are the stars
We are the movers of this cause
We are the people... hand in hand
We are the water of this land
We are the people that have fallen
We are the people that now stand
But I am strong
In these arms
I am armed with these scars
We are the earth
We are the stars
We are the movers of this cause
We are the people... hand in hand
We are the water of this land
We are the people that have fallen
We are the people that now stand
