The Sky Has Awakened
The Sky Has Awakened
Storm clouds over head
Thunder beats drums of red
Ancients storm a sacred trail
Nothing colonists can silence or quell
Rain like fire from the sky
Rising up the warrior's cry
Stand your post and hold your breath
Await the day for oppression's death
A new day comes with awakened sense
Greed will have to recompense
Pray to your God to keep you safe
As we take back our Indigenous ways
Mother Earth has had enough
She shakes and purges to rebuff
To free herself from matricide
And governments of apartheid
Make your peace with your deed
Answer to the wolves you feed
Bow your heads and say a prayer
Against your own biological warfare
Prophecies circle back around
Like a clock being unwound
Only the ones who have done harm
Should be the ones who are alarmed
New day rising, new hopes spawned
The awakening has dawned
Beat the drums and sing the songs
Time to undo all the wrongs.
