Here is a prophecy Two stars will fall from the western sky, on a winters night The first our dead brother Though he looks not like us Be sure he is our brother, come from the eagle spirit We must pray our prayers of light for him If our prayers of light be strong enough If our belief be strong enough He will rise, and he will know he is home The second star is a golden ship Strange gods of gold will hunt us They are come to eat us all Every one of us devoured Until there is no memory or trace of us Come to enslave our great mother Come to violate her This all shall come
There are things that I'll never see That will stay a memory That's where they'll always be so far, far away from me Things that I'll never know, now that I am here Dreams I will always hold as dear as the life that I lost
Shoulder to shoulder they are ready to fight Fight for their future, fight for their life As brothers and sisters, they stand against the wind Standing hand in hand til the battle begins Their children are slaughtered, their families destroyed They are starving to death A bloody revenge is their right
Spirit of the eagle, this land is their home Hunted down and murdered Here in the place they were born
Moment to moment, here on this sacred ground They have been living in harmony Now the redeemer, the new conquistador Self-righteous master is revealed to all
He plans their extinction, great mother enslaved Ravaged and polluted, they are living their final days
Spirit of the eagle, this land is their home Hunted down and murdered Here in the place they were born I found my redemption, ancient prayers of light Brought me from the darkness, here is the place I belong
They will never break us, we have to believe They will never break us if our spirit is strong If we can hold on to what we believe They will never break us if our spirit is strong
Their children are slaughtered, their families destroyed They are starving to death And bloody revenge is their right
Spirit of the eagle, this land is their home Hunted down and murdered Here in the place they were born I found my redemption, ancient prayers of light Brought me from the darkness, here is the place I belong Here is the place I belong
Things that I'll never know, now that I am here Dreams I will always hold as dear as the life that I lost
