The Band - It Is a Good Day to Die слова песни
The general rode for sixteen daysThe horses were thirsty and tiredOn the trail of a renegade chiefOne he`d come to admireThe soldiers hid behind the hillsThat surrounded the villageAnd he rode down to warn the chiefThey`d come to conquer and pillageLay down your armsLay down your spearThe chief`s eyes were sadBut showed no sign of fear(chorus)It is a good day to dieOh my children dry your eyesIt is a good day to dieHe spoke of the days before the white man cameWith his guns and whiskyHe told of a time a long time agoBefore what you call historyThe general couldn`t believe his wordsNor the look on his faceBut he knew these people would rather dieThen have to live in this disgraceWhat law have I brokenWhat wrong have I doneThat makes you want to bury meUpon this trail of blood(chorus)We cared for the land and the land cared for usAnd that`s the way it`s always beenNever asked for more never asked too muchAnd now you tell me this is the endI laid down my weaponLaid down my bowNow you want to drive me outWith no place left to go(chorus)And he turned to his people and said dry your eyesWe`ve been blessed and we are thankfulRaise your voices to the skyIt is a good day to die
