Band - Sacrifice Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • You know we have a million stories to tell
  • Im just one of a million or more stories that could be told
  • Chorus:
  • Sacrifice your freedom
  • Sacrifice your prayer
  • Take away your language
  • Cut off all your hair
  • Sacrifice the loved ones
  • Who always stood by me
  • Stranded in the wasteland
  • Set my spirit free
  • My name is leonard peltier
  • I am a lakota and anishnabe
  • And I am living in the united states penitentiary
  • Which is the swiftest growing
  • Indian reservations in the country
  • I have been in prison since 1976
  • For an incident that took place on the oglala-lakota nation
  • There was a shoot-out between members of the american indian movement
  • And the fbi and the local sheriffs state troopers
  • Two agents were killed and one indian was murdered
  • Three of us were charged with the deaths of the fbi agents
  • My co-defendants were found not-guilty by reasons of self-defense
  • My case was separated and I was found guilty before a jury of non-indian
  • People
  • The prosecutor stated that they did not know who killed their agents
  • Nor did he know what participation leonard peltier may have played in it
  • But someone has to pay for the crime
  • Theres a lot of nights that I lay in my cell
  • And I cant understand why this hell this hell and this terror
  • That I have been going through for twenty-one years hasnt ended
  • Chorus
  • But yet I know in my heart that someone has to pay sacrifice
  • To make things better for our people
  • The sacrifice I have made when I really sit down to think about it
  • Is nothing compared to what our people a couple hundred years ago
  • Or fifty years ago or twenty-five years ago have made
  • Some gave their lives
  • Some had to stand there and watch their children die in their arms
  • So the sacrifice I have made is nothing compared to those
  • Ive gone too far now to start backing down
  • I dont give up
  • Not til my people are free will I give up
  • And if I have to sacrifice some more
  • Then I sacrifice some more
