Pale Skin Glow

They danced before The firing sun A circle all around Praying to a God That is well known Freedom is a dream To them They can not see the Sin, Lurking in the Dark of night The light glow Of their palish skin Seeking harm To all of them Never knew Who to trust They never did Give up Fighting for a Place their own In sunny places Or winter travel They did roam Standing proud Was all they had known They fought To die For God's great earth Destroyed in time They held no fight For the palish skin That does glow Cut them down With all their might Stole the peaceful days Of the Indian ways Crushed our earth With their pale skin Ways Few surviving Are alive Remembered in wispers From the pale skin That does glow That took away So long ago
