War Dance
Jandek · Other Songs - Jandek
I swear I must be part Indian
Ridin' to a war path
Move up the warpath
Dance of death
Run around the red fire
Thump thump thump thump
War dance all night long
War dance all night long
War dance all night long
Sun give us the strength to live
Wind bring our path back home
Oh moon, give us stealth
Oh moon, flow like their blood
Oh rain, flow like their blood
At the pierce of our spear
At the pierce of our spear
