[Verse 1]
How [Em]dark is the smoke that fall from the sky
And soaked in our blood are
The feathers of time
More women and children were
Killed on that night
More [D]than they could count when
They [Em]threw 'em in trucks
Some children were kneeling
The saints were all calm
Ma[D]chetes and gunshots reveal
[Em]all the blood[D][Em][D]
[Em]The papers recount[G]ed[Em]
the [A]story we know
Yet [Em]silence is deep as the
[A]hundreds of [D]souls[Em]
And the hundreds of [C]hopes of [Em]our people[D][Em]
[D][Em]
[D][Em][D]
[Em][D][Em][D]
[Em][D][Em]
[D]Now eve[Em]ry one's waiting and
Hoping for justice
But [D]will there be [Em]goodness where
Men kill their [D]own?
Our wise [Em]people say that the
Mouth [D]of the earth has swallowed her fruit
But the [Em]eagle and snake
[D]Will [Em]stand for the truth
When the mother of corn has [D]spoken[Em]
[D]Oh axe[Em] of our fire, bring just[A]ice to life
[Em]For we know that power
Was [A]once sacrifice and it [Em]was sacrifice
And it was sacri[C]fice of our people
