Manowar - Spirit Horse Of The Cherokee Lyrics






The trail of tears began for all the Cherokee
The white men came to trade & borrow but then they would not leave
Some of us were taken by boat, and died at sea
Those of us who lived were sold to slavery

We welcomed them as brothers knowing nothing of their greed
Born hunters not the hunted as the white man hunts for me
We are descendants of the animals we live among the free
Our trail of tears would end one day at Wounded Knee.

Great Spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
To fight and die by the open sky, Spirit Horse ride for me

When we do the Ghost Dance, the buffalo will return
Paint ourselves for war, now blood and fire burn
Great Spirit makes us strong, take us to the sky
The Cherokee are brave, we are not afraid to die

Great Spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
To fight and die by the open sky, Spirit Horse ride for me

Red Cloud, Black Hawk, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Geronimo
Strong and brave warriors to the grave

There has been much killing there will be much more
The Medicine Man is dancing he's calling us to war,
Hatchets sing with pride let the white men die

Great Spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
To fight and die by the open sky, Spirit Horse ride for me

    The trail of tears began for all the Cherokee
    The white men came to trade and borrow

    But then they would not leave

    Some of us were taken by boat, and died at sea

    Those of us who lived were sold to slavery

    We welcomed them as brothers, knowing nothing of their greed

    Born hunters not the hunted, as the white man hunts for me

    We are descendants of the animals we live among them free

    Our trail of tears would end, one day at wounded knee

    Great spirit, thunder birds fly

    We are wild and free

    To fight and die by the open sky

    Spirit horse ride for me

    When we do the ghost dance, the buffalo will return

    Paint ourselves for war now blood and fire burn

    Great spirit makes us strong, take us to the sky

    The Cherokee are brave, we are not afraid to die

    Great spirit, thunder birds fly

    We are wild and free

    To fight and die by the open sky

    Spirit horse ride for me

    Red cloud, black hawk, sitting bull

    Crazy horse, Geronimo

    Strong and brave

    Warriors to the grave

    There has been much killing

    There will be much more

    The medicine man is dancing

    He's calling us to war

    Hatchets sing with pride

    Let the white men die

    Great spirit, thunder birds fly

    We are wild and free

    To fight and die by the open sky

    Spirit horse ride for me

    Great spirit, thunder birds fly

    We are wild and free

    To fight and die by the open sky

    Spirit horse ride for me

    Great spirit, thunder birds fly

    We are wild and free

    To fight and die by the open sky

    Spirit horse ride for me

    I wish I could have discovered this band while the lead singer was still alive

    Manowar's late response to Maiden's "Run the hills" ;)

    Love Maiden but Manowar always sounded better.
