Ghost Dances Arrangement and Score By Robert Rilling A tribute to all Americans BigFoot would take his children… and camped at Wounded Knee.. lightning had shown him where to go… Long knives had caused much sorrow… hunger and Misery the blood they spilled had made them free. By the Pine were Dancers.. Go blind so you can see.. Great Spirit, heed my call Ghost Dances set them Free Father, I come before you.. my broken arrows bleed.. show me the way and see me through.. mother, I cannot believe.. they kill with no decree… Brother, come with me.. Through the clouds they came.. Go blind so you can see.. Great Spirit, heed my call Ghost Dances set them Free *A true ritual in which the dancers see visions* Robert Rilling |

Ah yes, another good one from the lyricist. I would suggest to everybody to take a look at robert's poem in Critical Analysis as well. and i'm certain that if i drive into those trees, it would make less of a mess, than she's made of me... |

Yep, m'dear, I'm afraid you're going to have to come up with one or two more lyrics. And what a compliment from LucidityNow! |
