Spirit forgive me for I had sinned Oceans and deserts, lost souls in the wind Time rolls on like a cold winter’s night To hang from the cross, the child must died
Fire in the valley – a suicide Child in the alley – a suicide
No food on the table, with war on their head The mass graved sinners, the no name dead Breath of life whispers past your soul A cavalry blue sinner, as black as coal
Fire in the valley – a suicide Child in the alley – a suicide
Say a prayer, say a prayer… Say a prayer
Do you understand what happened that day They slaughtered our kin, they slaughtered our way A manifest destiny is what they teach Our souls aren’t for sale, they’re way out of reach
Did you hear the tale of the headless corpse? A sinner’s breed, and the devil scores Want to know why man could kill a child Just because another calls him savage and wild
A prayer for the dying, the weak and the old Forsaken this child, both beaten and cold Native is our skin, invaded is our land Death to the tyrant, united we stand
Fire in the valley – a suicide Child in the alley – a suicide
