It Is A Good Day To Die Lyrics - Band

The general rode for sixteen days 

The horses were thirsty and tired 

On the trail of a renegade chief 

One he'd come to admire 

The soldiers hid behind the hills 

That surrounded the village 

And he rode down to warn the chief 

They'd come to conquer and pillage 

Lay down your arms 

Lay down your spear 

The chief's eyes were sad 

But showed no sign of fear 

It is a good day to die 

Oh my children dry your eyes 

It is a good day to die

He spoke of the days before the white man came 

With his guns and whisky 

He told of a time a long time ago 

Before what you call history 

The general couldn't believe his words 

Nor the look on his face 

But he knew these people would rather die 

Then have to live in this disgrace 

What law have i broken 

What wrong have i done 

That makes you want to bury me 

Upon this trail of blood 

We cared for the land and the land cared for us 

And that's the way it's always been 

Never asked for more never asked too much 

And now you tell me this is the end 

Photos 

I laid down my weapon 

Laid down my bow 

Now you want to drive me out 

With no place left to go 

And he turned to his people and said dry your eyes 

We've been blessed and we are thankful 

Raise your voices to the sky 

It is a good day to die
