of the southwind lived and died
white man come bring the blood red
rain people of the southwind rise again
tribal dancers twilight blaze medicine man
sees the future and he prays
then he hears that duststorm guns and war
and he know he gotta fight for what
he had before
in my mind it's getting clearer distant memories shades and form
the sound of horses growing nearer the smell of wind
before the storm
I see Kansas in my mind oooo
Kansas in my mind, the peace I left behind oooo
Phantoms on the Santa Fe sacred ground
prairie land vanishing barb-wire bound
white man come bring the blood red rain
people of the Southwind rise again
you buffalo man paint the fire in the sky-
it's your fate your destiny eye for an eye
now white man go take your blood red
chains people of the Southwind rise again
noble nations came together trust and treaties pipes of peace
but conquering soldiers heartless leather
dreamed a bloodbath was their feast
you can chain me down but the bones
of a brave man will never rest
