Black Elk Speaks Lyrics

white heat.. was on

our tracks

                                                    the four-legged on

the run

                                                    white heat.. on our

backs

                                                       burning like a

sun

                                                      we walked.. walked

                                                  til there was no-where

left to go

                                                   we walked.. many fell

down

                                                       bloody in the

snow

                                                  white heat.. was on

our tracks

                                                     and growing to a

flood

                                                    white heat.. on our

backs

                                                     and growing to a

flood

                                                       we fought..

fought

                                                  til there was no-where

left to go

                                                   we fell... a pool of

red neath

                                                 passing wheels in mud

and snow

                                                  black elk... "I did

not know then

                                                    how much was that

end.."

                                                    black elk... "I see

it now...

                                                    from the high-hill

old age.."

                                                   black elk... "I see

the people

                                                    scattered along the

gulch

                                                    black elk... "I see

it plain..

                                                 "as when I saw with

young eyes...

                                                  and I see...something

else died

                                                   in the bloody

snow...I see...

                                                  A peoples' dream died

there...

                                                    it was a beautiful

dream..

                                                    it was a beautiful

dream..."

                                                   wo-o, wo-o-o-o,
