Rising Son
(Music POTBH – Lyrics POTBH/Louth)
Vile violation
Sins against my nation
Trying not to crack
First they force it on you, then they take it back
Taking it back, taking it back from me…
Extermination
Hard not to care none
I fight to death
Leave you in your blood, then we’re coming back again
(chorus)
This ain’t Oklahoma
And I was here long before ya
Mistress Darkness has come
And when the night is done
I’m the rising son
No reservations
Or pagan adulation
Freedoms got to live
Flesh and blood and bones is all I got to give
This ain’t South Dakota
And I ain’t gonna roll for ya
The sky says your time has come
And when the night is done
I’m the rising son
(break)
You tried some force, tried to get away
What’d you win? Not enough to say
In the clear, think you’re gettin’ by?
Cross yourself, snivelers always seem to die
This land ain’t your land, this land is my land
From Oglala to Ouachita
The ancestors of the First Nations
Were never made for reservations
(chorus)
This ain’t Oklahoma
And I was here long before ya
Mistress Darkness has come
And when the night is done
I’m the rising son
This ain’t South Dakota
And I ain’t gonna roll for ya
The sky says your time has come
And when the night is done
I’m the rising son
Taking it back, taking it back from you…
