Sand Creek Lyrics - Singles - Scrupulous

Going out into the eastern snow 

in pursuit of buffalo. 

Just one beast will feed the tribe, 

their life is our key to survive. 

Armed with supplies and ammunition 

by the bluecoats, with hunting permission. 

Well return once we have gathered more than enough. 

We shall return in triumph! 

Camped at a horse bend on Sand Creek, Colorado 

Cheyenne and Arapho; a peaceful ensemble 

Peace treats from white man, its the end of November 

Here he comes in all his splendor, oh an ode to Colonel Chivington! 

Full of hate, self righteous state, thickly laced with deception 

What will be the outcome when you think theres a war to end? 

And you have the power to make laws bend 

Forget the stroking of the pen 

Not revenge but land dispossession 

leave no claims, can you say ? 

theyll have no place to hide! 

The warriors had left the camp 

To hunt their game, such a clever trap 

Chiefs and children left without defense 

Attack when vulnerability is best 

Under the truce flag gifted by your great father 

Bluecoats destined to manifest redskin slaughter 

with discretion, we shall take no surrender. 

Free to take plunder after every man and woman. 

the elders and . 

all peaceful parties then they chose to. 

Cant you see youre not my enemy and we could live in peace! 

Collect your priceless trinkets: Guns and bows and! 

Take it all its worth something, I wish this were just a bad dream! 

Both tribes with prejudice 

Your land is ours, 

Weve unleashed hell! 

Youre doomed! 

Die! History hides the lies 

Die! The death of the tribes 

Speak! When the future is so bleak 

Speak! What will you be? 

Die! History hides the lies 

Die! The death of the tribes 

Speak! Please remember me 

Speak! Cause I died at Sand Creek
