From the dust of which I came

To dust I return again

From my mother I am torn

With my brothers off the war



We escape before the dawn

Trying to outrun the sun

Take my own life in my hands

Fearing God but never man



Take my ancient hand

Look me in the eye

Looking past the lines

Soon you'll see as I



You are young if you want

You could be old if you try

I can show you how to live

But you can't show me how to



As the sun stalks the sky

I am not afraid to die

My ear upon the ground

For the iron horse's sound



Encircle glowing rocks

One by one each chieftain talks

Tales of yore and bravest deeds

Coveting their warrior creed



Take my ancient hand

Look me in the eye

Looking past the lines

Soon you'll see as I



You are young if you want

You could be old if you try

I can show you how to live

But you can't show me how to



Show me how to die, yeah



Take my ancient hand

Look me in the eye

Looking past the lines

Soon you'll see as I



You are young if you want

You could be old if you try

I can show you how to live

But you can't show me how to



My hands will bridge the distance

Of beginning to the end

The time for learning ceases

It was all wasted and spent



From witch doctor to shaman

Kachina doll to chief

The spirit knows what ails you

You beg for its relief



All that I know, all that I say

My heart beats and my pulse drums

Out tribal rhythms

Pounding through the sky



Pounding through the sky

Pounding through the sky

Pounding through the sky, hey
