Cavalry of the Fractured Veil

I wore my Nudie suit stitched from shadows and flame Poppies for eyes in a cosmic refrain Rode out from Wounded Knee where the bluecoats remain Bugle calls backward in the blood-red rain Veteran of the psychic wars, lost to the endless night Possessed by the Ghost Dance under a fractured light Reversed chants whisper through the veil so thin Cavalry of the damned, where the dead begin Buffalo bones bleach white on the prairie’s sigh I shot my own shadow beneath a bleeding sky The circle promised return, but the tape spins wrong Resurrects only echoes in this twilight song Veteran of the psychic wars, lost to the endless night Possessed by the Ghost Dance under a fractured light Reversed chants whisper through the veil so thin Cavalry of the damned, where the dead begin Heya heya ho... (reversed layered haunting echoes) The circle turns inward, the veil starts to tear Wovoka’s vision drowned in despair I'm bound to the charge that never finds peace In this minor key waltz, the madness won't cease... The plains breathe rust beneath hooves of the gone I lead the ghost riders till the final dawn Frozen prayers linger in the winter’s embrace Backwards voices call me to this endless place Veteran of the psychic wars, lost to the endless night Possessed by the Ghost Dance under a fractured light Reversed chants whisper through the veil so thin Cavalry of the damned... riding the wind within Bury me where the ghost horses run Under a sun that's forever undone The last bugle bends and breaks in reverse In this apocalyptic verse..
