Ghost Dance Defiance
Hunkpapa chief, visionary's sight
Leading his people through darkest night
Broken treaties, promises betrayed
Yet Sitting Bull's spirit never swayed
Little Bighorn's victory, bitter-sweet
The tide of history he'd meet
Ghost Dance defiance, ancestral call
Though bullets fly, he'll never fall
In betrayal's storm, he stands strong
Sitting Bull's courage lives on
Guardian of traditions old
His spirit fierce, uncontrolled
Exile in Canada, refuse to retreat
Hunger and hardship, he won't admit defeat
Returning home to reservation's pain
Fighting for freedom, not in vain
White man's schools, his people's land
Against assimilation, he'll make his stand
Ghosts testify, it's ancestral call
Though bullets fly, he'll never fall
Betrayal's storm, he stands strong
Symbols, courage lives on
Guardian of traditions old
His spirit fierce, uncontrolled
Ghost Dance defiance, ancestral call
Though bullets fly, he'll never fall
In betrayal's storm, he stands strong
Sitting Bull's courage lives on
Guardian of traditions old
His spirit fierce, uncontrolled
Ghost Dance rises, hope renewed
Ancient prophecies once again viewed
Spirits' return, the old ways restored
But threatened powers can't be ignored
Final stand at Standing Rock
Betrayal's bullet, spirits unlock
His blood soaks into sacred ground
But Sitting Bull's voice will still resound
Through plains and mountains, rivers and sky
The great chief's courage will never die
In every drum, in every song
His defiance echoes strong
Ghost Dance defiance, ancestral call
Though bullets fly, he'll never fall
In betrayal's storm, he stands strong
Sitting Bull's courage lives on
Guardian of traditions old
His spirit fierce, uncontrolled
Ghost Dance defiance, eternal flame
Sitting Bull's courage puts betrayal to shame
Though his body fell, his spirit soars
Inspiring resistance on distant shores
Lakota warrior, your legacy stands
Guiding all free hearts and hands
Ghost Dance defiance, ancestral call
Though bullets fly, he'll never fall
In betrayal's storm, he stands strong
Sitting Bull's courage lives on
Lakota warrior, your legacy stands
Guiding all free hearts and hands
Leading his people through darkest night
Broken treaties, promises betrayed
Yet Sitting Bull's spirit never swayed
Little Bighorn's victory, bitter-sweet
The tide of history he'd meet
Ghost Dance defiance, ancestral call
Though bullets fly, he'll never fall
In betrayal's storm, he stands strong
Sitting Bull's courage lives on
Guardian of traditions old
His spirit fierce, uncontrolled
Exile in Canada, refuse to retreat
Hunger and hardship, he won't admit defeat
Returning home to reservation's pain
Fighting for freedom, not in vain
White man's schools, his people's land
Against assimilation, he'll make his stand
Ghosts testify, it's ancestral call
Though bullets fly, he'll never fall
Betrayal's storm, he stands strong
Symbols, courage lives on
Guardian of traditions old
His spirit fierce, uncontrolled
Ghost Dance defiance, ancestral call
Though bullets fly, he'll never fall
In betrayal's storm, he stands strong
Sitting Bull's courage lives on
Guardian of traditions old
His spirit fierce, uncontrolled
Ghost Dance rises, hope renewed
Ancient prophecies once again viewed
Spirits' return, the old ways restored
But threatened powers can't be ignored
Final stand at Standing Rock
Betrayal's bullet, spirits unlock
His blood soaks into sacred ground
But Sitting Bull's voice will still resound
Through plains and mountains, rivers and sky
The great chief's courage will never die
In every drum, in every song
His defiance echoes strong
Ghost Dance defiance, ancestral call
Though bullets fly, he'll never fall
In betrayal's storm, he stands strong
Sitting Bull's courage lives on
Guardian of traditions old
His spirit fierce, uncontrolled
Ghost Dance defiance, eternal flame
Sitting Bull's courage puts betrayal to shame
Though his body fell, his spirit soars
Inspiring resistance on distant shores
Lakota warrior, your legacy stands
Guiding all free hearts and hands
Ghost Dance defiance, ancestral call
Though bullets fly, he'll never fall
In betrayal's storm, he stands strong
Sitting Bull's courage lives on
Lakota warrior, your legacy stands
Guiding all free hearts and hands
