lyrics

sister played with the things we saved
while mother worked in the earthen cave
far from our homes on the lonely plain
flat but where we laid father in his grave

horses race on the hazy throne
sun children running with the weight of the world
into the hills where they dream of their homes
in the night they hear the buffalo roam

morning came with a burst of light
eyes opened to the smoke and cries
faces washed with boiling blood on fire
the butcher took them as he fashioned a smile
