Current song lyrics
The general rode for sixteen days<br />The horses were thirsty and tired<br />On the trail of a renegade chief<br />One he'd come to admire<br />The soldiers hid behind the hills<br />That surrounded the village<br />And he rode down to warn the chief<br />They'd come to conquer and pillage<br /><br />Lay down your arms<br />Lay down your spear<br />The chief's eyes were sad<br />But showed no sign of fear<br /><br />(chorus)<br />It is a good day to die<br />Oh my children dry your eyes<br />It is a good day to die<br /><br />He spoke of the days before the white man came<br />With his guns and whisky<br />He told of a time a long time ago<br />Before what you call history<br />The general couldn't believe his words<br />Nor the look on his face<br />But he knew these people would rather die<br />Then have to live in this disgrace<br /><br />What law have I broken<br />What wrong have I done<br />That makes you want to bury me<br />Upon this trail of blood<br /><br />(chorus)<br /><br />We cared for the land and the land cared for us<br />And that's the way it's always been<br />Never asked for more never asked too much<br />And now you tell me this is the end<br /><br />I laid down my weapon<br />Laid down my bow<br />Now you want to drive me out<br />With no place left to go<br /><br />(chorus)<br /><br />And he turned to his people and said dry your eyes<br />We've been blessed and we are thankful<br />Raise your voices to the sky<br />It is a good day to die
