“All our fathers once loved to gaze upon was destroyed, defaced or marred, except the sun, moon and starry skies above, which the Great Spirit in his wisdom hung beyond their reach.” — Chief Simon Pokagon
We owned the night
When we owned the night, yeah we owned the night
A shot in the dark
Take you over
When everything is out
You can’t fight
We’ve all got stories
Heart beat for a thousand miles
Time stands still
Hopelessly
For a thousand years
I can’t jump where I belong
I will be brave
What’s there to complain about?
Take away what’s standing in front of me
Takes away all the night like a thief
I have died every day
for a thousand years
It feels so hard to breathe
Remember how the stars stole the night away?
I’m returning from so far
