Lyrics - Spirit Horse Of The Cherokee by Manowar

The trail of tears began for all the
Cherokee
The white men came to trade & borrow,
But then they would not leave
Some of us were taken by boat, and died at sea
Those of us who lived were sold to slavery.
We welcomed them as brothers, knowing nothing of
Their greed, born hunters not the hunted
As the white man hunts for me,
We are descendants of the animals
We live among the free
Our trail of tears would end one day at
Wounded
Knee.
Great
Spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
To fight and die by the open sky,
Spirit
Horse ride for me
When we do the
Ghost
Dance, the buffalo will return
Paint ourselves for war, now blood and fire burn
Great
Spirit makes us strong, take us to the sky
The
Cherokee are brave, we are not afraid to die
Great
Spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
To fight and die by the open sky,
Spirit
Horse ride for me
Red
Cloud,
Black
Hawk,
Sitting
Bull
Crazy
Horse,
Geronimo
Strong and brave warriors to the grave
There has been much killing, there will be much more
The
Medicine
Man is dancing, he's calling us to war,
Hatchets sing with pride, let the white men die
Great
Spirit, thunder birds fly, we are wild and free
To fight and die by the open sky,
Spirit
Horse ride for me
