Your accent betrays you,
Blending all your black and white words,
Betraying truth that justice bends,
Tunneling past grey syllables,
Subtly divided by a worrisome two edged sword,
Past all those tinted things that appear orange and blue,
Funneling past all those tainted things that awake in a purple hue,
Rescinding all the brown and jungle green,
Reminding rainbows of all the colours of the wind.

Even enlightened men can be fools,
When the black snake comes,
Stand up and fight back,
Hey Hey, Hey Hey, Hey Hey!
Eagle feathers fluttering in the wind,
When does the world take notice?
All these roots and herbs and good medicine,
All that Wakantanka shared with us two-leggeds,
All that the great mystery has generously divulged,
All that earth justice firmly demands,
Hey Hey, Hey Hey, Hey Hey!
All that human kind requires in a healthy land.

Protecting water and soil and air,
All those things Sacred and Holy,
Hey Hey, Hey Hey, Hey Hey!
Understand that when the world disappears,
It will be gone forever,
So the soaring Phoenix truly fears,
When all good is destroyed,
Everything will turn to blackness,
All things will dematerialize into black snake's bottomless pit,

Everything will vanish into that viper's den,
Believe the rising Thunderbird then,
Reminding us there is no escape from it.

When Sioux women pushed their bone awls,
Deep into Custer's deaf ears,
Thinking maybe yellow-hair would finally hear,
Maybe demented man would understand,
Sacred is Holy as Holy Sacred Ground,
And Holy Sacred Water,
And Holy Sacred Soil,
And Holy Sacred Air,
And Holy Sacred Mother Earth,
Maybe then all those deaf greedy people,
Maybe then they will see the Light,
Maybe then they will finally understand,
If we don't take care of our Grandmothers and Grandfathers,
If we don't take care of our buried dead,
If we don't take care of our Sacred Holy Land,
If we don't take care of our Sacred Holy Water and Air,
If we don't take care of our Sacred Holy Rivers and Seas and Skies,
If we don't take care of our Sacred Holy Mother Earth,
Then all will surely be lost,
All will surely be gone,
All will be black,
All will become nothing,
And our Creator will laugh and laugh and laugh,
Knowing how our foolish accents,
Knowing how all our corrupt colours and creeds,
Knowing that dinosaurs have risen from the dead,
Reincarnating as stinking black crude and thick toxic bitumen,
Knowing that mindless humankind's utter disrespect,
Has devoured all the good on the planet,
Has fractured the world into oblivion with the devil,
Knowing that is the reason why we shall finally perish,
Swallowed by all our worldly sin and incarnate evil,
Hey Hey, Hey Hey, Hey Hey!
Dined upon by the blind and deaf and dumb,
Led us to this crooked destruction,
Betrayed by heartless cannibals and beasts,
Hey Hey, Hey Hey, Hey Hey!
Swallowed by the conniving black snake,
Wrapped and bound in black snake's delusion feast.
