Last Stand

My Grandfather told me one night long ago
 the land of my people would turn into stone, into ash
 Destroying the future and covering the past
 His old eyes were closing, his light growing dim
 the Earth opened up, swallowing him, gray and cold
 I did not understand, how could I know?
 I hear my ancestors calling to me
 a voice on the wind, and a song in my dreams, far away
 in between the night and the day
 I feel a change in the wind and the rain
 the hawk speaks to me and she tells me her pain, stay away
 blood like a river will flow here today
 My mother the Sun and my Sister the moon
 look down on my now on this cold afternoon, as I wait
 all of the good things have fled from the place
 As the men enter the valley below
 my friends by my side, and my hands on my bow, be my guide
 Don't turn away from me great Father sky
 Sister moon shine on me, no man can stop me now
 You can't kill me
