The Seventh Cavalry - Misery Index

So steadfast in reinforcing the myth

Of a sovereignty so fictitious

They’re in your home now spreading disease

Our nation slogging down on wounded knees

…Until they’re dead

Battalions built on a mountain of lies

Taking heads, eloquent deception

Superseded and set aside

We watch the hills as they enter and then divide

We saw it

We bought it

From severed to delivered

The invasion has been

Predevised to pacify, and redefine

I can’t hear them

And I won’t listen

To lie frozen and slowly fade into the black

The seventh cavalry has arrived to divide our reservations

Dear ears to decide

To open fire, no compromise

Bleak Dakota, in a crimson snow

A Ghost dancer, in a grave unknown

Off in the wind, their shots resound

As we become, one with the ground

I can’t hear them

And I won’t listen

To lie frozen and slowly fade into the black
