Spirit forgive me for I had sinned Oceans and deserts, lost souls in the wind Time rolls on like a cold winter's night To hang from the cross, the child must died Fire in the valley – a suicide Child in the alley – a suicide No food on the table, with war on their head The ma** graved sinners, the no name dead Breath of life whispers past your soul A cavalry blue sinner, as black as coal Fire in the valley – a suicide Child in the alley – a suicide Say a prayer, say a prayer… Say a prayer Do you understand what happened that day
They slaughtered our kin, they slaughtered our way A manifest destiny is what they teach Our souls aren't for sale, they're way out of reach Did you hear the tale of the headless corpse? A sinner's breed, and the devil scores Want to know why man could k** a child Just because another calls him savage and wild A prayer for the dying, the weak and the old Forsaken this child, both beaten and cold Native is our skin, invaded is our land d**h to the tyrant, united we stand Fire in the valley – a suicide Child in the alley – a suicide
