[Intro] Out where the sun burns red and gold The prairie keeps a story old Of dust, of guns, and bitter fate Where pride and death did congregate [Verse 1] They rode in hard, the Seventh bold Custer in front, with eyes too cold He thought he’d break the native will But iron hearts are hard to kill [Chorus] Blood on the prairie, ghosts in the grass Echoes of thunder that never pass The drums were loud, the arrows flew And legends died where the wild winds blew [Verse 2] Lakota, Cheyenne, fierce and free Fighting for land, for family No treaties left, no lies believed Just sacred ground they won’t concede [Pre-Chorus] The rifles cracked, the horses screamed The river red, the sky still dreamed [Chorus] Blood on the prairie, ghosts in the grass Echoes of thunder that never pass The drums were loud, the arrows flew And legends died where the wild winds blew [Verse 3] Now silence holds that cursed place The bones still sleep without a face No victors here, just ash and bone And names the wind still cries alone [Final Chorus] Blood on the prairie, ghosts in the grass Echoes of thunder that never pass The drums were loud, the arrows flew And legends died where the wild winds blew [Outro] Out where the red sun settles low Lies the tale of Little Big Horn...
