https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geronimo_Campaign 🪦☠️🪦☠️🪦☠️🪦☠️🪦 Four hundred years of borders drawn by men who never came They fenced the desert, named it theirs, and called us savage for the same We knew the water, knew the rock, knew where the spirits hide ("HIDE!") They brought the cross and brought the gun and called it civilized ("LIES!") RUN GERONIMO RUN - they can't catch a shadow on the stone ("RUN! RUN!") RUN GERONIMO RUN - Chiricahua, never on your own ("NEVER ALONE!") They want the land, they want it clean ("WANT IT CLEAN!") RUN GERONIMO RUN - you know what that word means General Crook and General Miles, five thousand troops, one man Apache scouts against their own - divide and break the clan San Carlos was a prison camp disguised as Indian land ("PRISON CAMP!") Starve 'em, strip 'em, break their tongue, then call it all god's plan ("GOD'S PLAN, LIES!") RUN GERONIMO RUN - they can't catch a shadow on the stone ("RUN! RUN!") RUN GERONIMO RUN - Chiricahua, never on your own ("NEVER ALONE!") They want the land, they want it clean ("WANT IT CLEAN!") RUN GERONIMO RUN - you know what that word means Skeleton Canyon - 1886 He rode down from the mountain with a deal he couldn't fix "Two years in exile" - that's the lie they told ("TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS!") Prisoner of war 'til the day he turned old ("THAT'S THE COST OF GOLD!") RAN GERONIMO RAN - they could not catch a shadow on the stone ("RAN! RAN!") RAN GERONIMO RAN - Chiricahua, never on your own ("NEVER ALONE!") They got the land, they got it clean ("GOT IT CLEAN!") But the name still echoes - you know what that word means ("GERONIMO!")
