Standing Rock

The greed that feeds the empty soul
Is chasing gains with empty goals
Turns a blind eye to the legacy it leaves
Contaminates our water
Leaves no clean air left to breathe

Slow extermination of the human race
Like sheep lead to pasture to a nameless grave
A twenty-first century genocide
Our fate remains untold
Are you prepared to die?

Wielding power recklessly
Reporting trivial mockery
Common people lead astray
While the natives are betrayed

Rape our hallowed ground
Awakened by the sound
Warriors won't back down
The end is near the time to act is now

Native soil
Lust for oil
Corrupt decree
Land of greed

Native soil
We won't recoil
We all need
To stand in peace

The tribes file in to form a peaceful mass
The greed sends the dogs in to attack
Spill the blood of a child while the media goes black
What was peaceful demonstration
Turned aggressive confrontation

Undeniable contempt for a useless pact
Seven more generations for supreme impact
Torture by apathy no truthful expectation
This is not a revolution
Just a form of institution
