White Mans Ways

What do we know about white man's ways

Stepping on Red Mans Graves

Turn us all to his slaves

Taking our lives land and pride

Pushing all our nations aside

With his evil greed and lustful ways

Forcing us all to live of strife

No nature no spirit no life

I can't bear to watch his endless wars

Using words to justify his scores

Words like liberty peace and justice

One nation under god amongst us

What do we know about judgment day?

God will take white man away

Even those who rest in their graves Most of them will be his slaves

Giving back our way of life

Our land our liberty and our wives

He will come again some day

To wipe the evilness away

We will watch him end these wars

Using his word to even up the scores

Healing people in the name of god

Giving justice to every man

Liberty and peace throughout the land

What do we know about white man's ways

Stepping on Red Mans Graves

Turn us all to his slaves

Taking our lives land and pride

Pushing all our nations aside

With his evil greed and lustful ways

Forcing us all to live of strife

No nature no spirit no life

I can't bear to watch his endless wars

Using words to justify his scores

Words like liberty peace and justice

One nation under god amongst us

What do we know about judgment day?

God will take white man away

Even those who rest in their graves

Most of them will be his slaves Giving back our way of life

Our land our liberty and our wives

He will come again some day

To wipe the evilness away

We will watch him end these wars

Using his word to even up the scores

Healing people in the name of god

Giving justice to every man

Liberty and peace throughout the land

And Their Were Wars

And their were wars and there were wars

and there were wars to end all wars

And they forged there sword

and they made there shield

And they fought for Peace

and they fought for freedom

but don’t you know by now fighting

lead to war not freedom peace

is the only way and the freedom came

but the peace didn’t last

so they forged the sword and

they fought for peace but they lost

there freedom and so says the lord

you cant have war with peace and freedom

go back to the drawing board but don’t

you know by now fighting lead to war

not freedom peace is the only way And

their were wars and there were wars and

there were wars to end all wars

And they forged there sword and they

made there shield

And they fought for Peace and they fought

for freedom but don’t you know

by now fighting lead to war not

freedom peace is the only way

and the freedom came but the peace

didn’t last so they forged the sword

and they fought for peace but they

lost there freedom and so says the

lord you cant have war with peace

and freedom go back to the drawing

board and don’t you know by now

fighting lead to war not freedom

peace is the only way

for a long long time but I’ve been held back

by my responsibility’s now their older Now

Some Day Mix

Someday will come together as a family

Will work together till eternity

This is the hope of hopes for the mighty

The course is set don’t veer from the horizon

There must be a reason for humanity

If there were no future its insanity

Just knowing I Live is a miracle

Some things in life remain mystical

God’s wisdom is truly magnificent

His power of deliverance significant

Man is not capable of understanding

It is faith that binds us together

The rope that swings hope to forever

Someday will come together as a family

Will work together till eternity

This is the hope of hopes for the mighty

The course is set don’t veer from the horizon

There must be a reason for humanity

If there were no future its insanity

Just knowing I Live is a miracle

Some things in life remain mystical

God’s wisdom is truly magnificent

His power of deliverance significant

Man is not capable of understanding

It is faith that binds us together

The rope that swings hope to forever

The Death Song

It was the fall of Fort Sackville during the revolution

gave rise to the capture of Pontiac’s son

Fifteen men returning from the falls of Ohio

not knowing the Fort was taken

The men were ambushed by suprise five of them

taken to the fort gates they were to be

sacrificed

Singing their death song they were

butchered in succession though the

flag of truce was hanging out the fort gate

and the firing had ceased on both sides

young chief of the Ottawa

Nation received a fatal

blow took it out and gave it to his

captors to receive the blow a second

and third time Not deprived of life was

dragged to the river rope around his

neck and tortured till he died

The blood of the victims was still

visible for days a testimony of the

courage and humanity of Clarke I

couldn’t of said it better Myself

Singing their death

song as they were butchered in

succession though the flag of truce

was hanging out the fort gate and the firing

had ceased on both sides

when the prisoners were brought in

the villain Bosseron leveled his piece

at Sergeant Sanscrante right then his

father Clarke’s interpreter lowered his

musket saving his sons live thank you

father Interpreter you saved my life

when you saved your son and put and

end to more blood shed but not to
