The Warrior Ain’t No More

Into the badlands, the white man came
Killing out of fear what they couldn't explain
Disease unknown to this virgin land
Laid to waste with the gun in command
From the steel rails the bullets did fly
Shooting buffalo with a gleam in their eye
The sheer sport and the blood of the kill
Burning carcasses, till they had their fill
The warrior ain't no more
The warrior lost his war
The white man came and left his pain
Now the warrior ain't no more
The pain and the sorrow rose with the sun
Ending their dreams with a whip and a gun
Taken their rights and their dignity too
Bound to be slaves, ready for abuse
To the reservations by government sent
Fill up the prisons till they repent
Now the land, that's all that's left
Will be taken back with another theft
