RUN TO THE HILLS

(Harris)

 

White man came across the sea, brought us pain and misery

Killed our tribes killed our creed, took our game for his own need

 

We fought him hard we fought him well, out on the plains we gave him hell

But many came too much for Cree, oh will we ever be set free?

 
Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes, galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes, fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom the stab in the back, women and children and cowards attack
 
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
 
Soldier blue in the barren wastes, hunting and killing their game
Raping the women and wasting the men, the only good Indians are tame
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold, enslaving the young and destroying the old
 
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
 
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives

CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED

(Harris)

 

He's walking like a small child, but watch his eyes burn you away

Black holes in his golden stare, God knows he wants to go home

 

Children of the damned

Children of the damned

Children of the damned

Children of the damned
 
He's walking like a dead man, if he had lived he would have crucified us all
Now he's standing on the last step, he thought oblivion, well it beckons us all
 
Children of the damned
Children of the damned
Children of the damned
Children of the damned
 

Now it's burning his hands, he's turning to laugh

Smiles as the flames sear his flesh
Melting his face, screaming in pain
Watch him die according to plan
He's dust on the ground, what did we learn
 
You're children of the damned
Your back's against the wall
You turn into the light
You're children of the damned
Like candles watch them burn
Burning in the light
You'll burn again tonight
You're children of the damned

TOTAL ECLIPSE

(Harris/Murray/Burr)

 

Cold as steel the darkness waits its hour will come

A cry of fear from our children worshipping the sun

Mother natures' black revenge on those who wasted her life

War babies in the garden of Eden shall turn our ashes to ice

 

Sunrise has gone, freezing up the fires

Sunrise has gone, numbing our desires
 
Around the world the people stop with terror stricken eyes
A shadow cast upon them all,
To crush them like a fly In the icy rain and whip lashed seas
There's nowhere left to run the hammer blows of winter fall like a hurricane
 

Sunrise has gone, freezing up the fires

Sunrise has gone, numbing our desires
 
Around the world the nations wait for some wise word from their leading light
You know it's not only madmen who listen to fools
Is this the end, the millions cried clutching their riches as they died
Those who survive must weather the storm
 
Gone are the days when man looked down
They've taken away his sacred crown
To be set free, it took so long
It's not journey's end, it's just begun
