They came across the still blue waters
Killed our Braves, Raped our Daughters
Slaughtered our food,just for the HIDE
Indian's world and white man's Collide
Under the full MOON "Chief Koakki" Cried
They scar and mar the Southwest Plains
Pollute our rivers,while damming the Rains
Keep us on reservations with unfettered chains
Soldiers : guarding with rifles to keep us inside
Under the full MOON "Chief Koakki" Sighed
Treaties,Promises,Speeches with forked tongue
Teaching these ungodly depravities to our Young
The stately NATIVE AMERICANS go UNSUNG
Their History,Heritage,in my heart ALWAYS Abide
Under the full MOON "Chief Koakki" Died
