Indigenous Songwriting at the Lenape Indian Village

LYRICS
I guess we’ve gotta go
Against the river’s flow
The settlers have settled on a settlement

Chorus
By settlement I mean they’re mean
From the genocide we must hide
Hide in Her spirit’s hide

Chorus

They’ll cut us down you know
Bullet versus bow
What are they thinkin’ over the color of skin?

Chorus

Since we wouldn’t behave
As their slave
Over our land… their rag… their flag

Chorus

lyrics

To blindly follow
Wherever they go
Doesn’t matter
Even if they know

Rushing on
Blindly
Unmindfully, carelessly, heedlessly,
Impetuously, recklessly, irrationally
Rashly
Wildly
Frantically

Marching to the tune
Of an indifferent drummer
Must resume
A walking slumber
Sleepwalker
Rational balker
Hopelessly
Only
Heard the herd
Heading, walking, marching
Toward the ledge
Over the edge
Cliff diving
Into our ending
Will we make,
This blind faith mistake?

ABOUT THE SONG
Buffalo running over a cliff. “Lemming populations fluctuate with such variance roughly every four years, before plummeting to near extinction.” What will humans do?

The base recording for the song was messed up. For some reason, there was a crackling sound. So, the lyric, “Will you get the itch to flip the switch” was added. Simulating the sound of an electrical switch getting turned on… like a bright idea in your brain.

Again, it is an extemporaneous recording.

This song kind-of sums up what this project is about —
And many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
— Daniel !2:2

Daniel
Had a dream
Stars would shine
Forever bright
Devil’s zombies
Rule the night
Devils
Evil spell?
Well, Daniel?

The dead
Stand upright
The head
Forever bright
It’s the devil
In you
It’s the devil in me
It’s the D evil
I tell you
De-evil
Me, too

Daniel’s dream
Shine like a beam
Or
Daniel’s dream
Now it’s seen
Sapien’s
Satin

Here is a lo-fi demo of the song. It is one of my favorite cuts for this album. As with most of the songs, it is an extemporaneous recording.
