The herd darkens the sky
As though a storm may come
I hear the lowly sigh
As the bison start to run
With deafening steel
The slaughter’s begun
So run, legend run
Run into the sun
The killers have come
Your battle has begun
Confusion clouds your vision
As you shelter the young
But how they take you down
One by one
The pounding of your fear
Stains the Promised Land
As you run legend run
Run into the sun
The killers have come
Your battle has begun
Black sea of the prairie
How fast you’re fading now
The rifles repeat
To silence your screams
You are gold for the taking
But what have they done
As you run legend run
Run into the sun
Your killers have come
Your battle’s begun
Cut out their tongues
But leave the rest
To rot in the cold day’s heat
How brave you are mighty hunter
But do you know
What you have done
As they run how they run
Into the sun
For the killers have come
Their battle is done
With silent rage
Warriors stalk the bloody stench
Their tribe marked for death
As mothers weep
Through the cold of winters drain
With nothing to silence their babies pain
And they run how they run
On into the sun
For the killers have come
The battle is done
For what is death
What is pain
That I have seen
Through your eyes
As you run how you run
Legend run, into the sun
For your battle is done
A legend is born
Yet will never truly die
For in each of us we carry
A part of you inside
Beyond the last sunset
Until the end of time
That you may find the peace
This world so easily denied
