[INTRO – Native flute] Ancestors… hear our call From the sacred ground We stand We remember Unconquered… [VERSE I ] From the dust of our fathers From the fire below We were born in the thunder Where the wild rivers flow Hear the drums of the old ones Calling out through time Every step that we take now Leaves a sacred sign [PRE-CHORUS] Wanblí circles the dawn sky Shows the path from above Šúŋka runs with the heartbeat Bound by blood, bound by love [CHORUS – Full band] WE ARE THE UNCONQUERED Born from fire and bone (...from fire and bone) Ancestors walk beside us We stand – never alone WE ARE THE UNCONQUERED No knee to the throne (...to the throne) From the plains to the skyline This land is our home [VERSE II] Greasy Grass at first light Hear the hooves, hear the cry Šúŋkawakȟáŋ like the storm wind Cut the valley wide Matȟó wakes in our anger When the gunfire roars We don’t fight for their glory We fight what is ours [CHORUS – SHORT] WE ARE THE UNCONQUERED Born from fire and bone (...from fire and bone) Ancestors walk beside us We stand – never alone [BREAKDOWN] Unconquered… Unconquered… (spoken, calm and solemn) When we fall… We rise as spirits [BRIDGE – flute] Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ Unčí makȟá waŋblí kte Tȟuŋkášila tókša ake Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ Wakȟáŋ Tȟáŋka uŋglúšni [FINAL CHORUS – FULL EVERYTHING] WE ARE THE UNCONQUERED Time can't erease our names (...erease our names) Ancestors walk beside us In wind, in dust, in flames WE ARE THE UNCONQUERED From the earth to the sky (...to the sky) When we die, we return there Where the eternal ones ride [OUTRO – flute fade] Unconquered! Unconquered!
