about

I love this song. I love 3/4 time signature, also.
This is a pretty sad song about colonization and the murdering of Indians.
Me and Decarli made a nice voice duet, we kind of play with the notes more in live gigs. #capt

lyrics

Little children:
Watch the sky, watch the sky, watch the sky
Little children:
Better hide, better hide, better hide

Where's the sun?
I don't know!
Where's the sun?
Won't it show?

Little children:
You beware!
Daddy's dead
You better be scared!

Mommy's crying
You better run
The fire's spreading
Chase the sun.

But watch out
For the pale men
They're the evil
That wasted our land

The sun sets earlier today
Gods are failing us, they pray
The silver rain washed the dead
The day our rivers flowed red

One by one, their corpses fall
Dismembered, slaughtered, no mercy at all
And all that was left was for them to ask "why?"
And wonder why the gods left them all to die

The sun sets earlier today
Gods are failing us, they pray
The silver rain washed the dead
The day our rivers flowed red

The sun sets earlier today
Please, my children, run away!
The silver rain washed the dead
The day our rivers flowed red
