(prelude)
Shaman, take us, back …back
To when this big wild land… welcomed, those
Who would risk their all …to join it
Help us understand
…past the great lie…
Past the pretty pictures
…of ugly cities
When men were men
…no less than, any other
Reveal the truth
…it’s character, aloof
Make clear to me…
what this...
freedom
...has cost...
Ghost dancers
…come forth
from the dry sand
Cloud islands in the skies …be reborn
Stars …retrace your steps, again
River of tears …emerge from the earth,
Once more tell your story
Show now and forever, what has been lost
As the river of remembrance carries its dark secrets
Buried in its depths …And the ugly scars it carries
Come and goes, without regrets
Spare me nothing of the terrors there contained
Reveal ancient spirits… what they knew, pray tell
Bring them back to speak with me…
Summon them from their journey
Through the mists
As they travel among …others lost in history
In the mysteries of the ghost trails
As they walk …into eternity with us
Side by side …in different dimensions
Walk us through the infinite battle
Of these cosmic principalities…
Ever since we drew first breath
To walk as soul +beings
To walk to the beat of sacred drums
Which mirror our heart beats
In our dance among the stars
…revolve around the sun
Our fate united, yet to +be decided
Souls never rest, until reunited
Play now the beat of the sacred drums
As we do our love dance… into eternity
Remember worlds
From which we’ve come
As we turn about the sun
