Robbie Robertson - Words Of Fire, Deeds Of Blood Lyrics
Perhaps you think the creator has sent you here to dispose of us as you see fit
If I thought you were sent by the creator
I might be induced to think you had a right to dispose of me
Do not misunderstand me
But understand me fully with reference to my affection for the land
The one who has a right to dispose of it is the one who has created it
I claim a right to live on my land
And accord you the privilege to return to yours
Brother we have listened to your talk
Coming from our father the great White Chief at Washington
And my people have called upon me to reply to you
And in the winds which pass through these aged pines
We hear the moanings of their departed ghosts
That act would never have been done
But alas though they stood around they could neither be seen nor heard
Their tears fell like drops of rain
I hear my voice in the depths of the forest
But no answering voice comes back to me
All is silent around me
My words therefore must be few
I can now say no more
He is silent for he has nothing to answer when the sun goes down

I think we have come to a time when we have to look FORWARD and see this planet as a whole...This is the world of Mankind. We have to find a new way to live here and stop killing one another for the treasure on the mountain. It's not gold...it's a message...and that message is to love one another and share the world. The haters are preventing this...They have to be abolished. The haters and murderers of anyone who is different from themselves, have to be put in their place and not allowed to harm others. We all know who they are...if we will be honest. Then we, the peace lovers can return to the garden.
Downvoted because of advertising.
Aho🙏🏽
