Death of a Warrior

Inspired by a storyline from a show. The Native American tribal culture is beautiful. This is written in honour of their Light. 

Death of a warrior 
By Michelle Morris

Lay me down
Under the big sky
Where my ancestors
Can see my soul fly

I knew it was always
Going to end this way
I've lived my life
A warrior brave

Shot and scalped
By the dark one
The death of a warrior
Is on his conscience 

We all make our choices
We all live our fates
Our destiny and lessons
Are left in our wake

My honour and peace
My legacy for my tribe 
Our bodies may stay here
But our souls dance with the Light
