The Indian Cries

THE INDIAN CRIES - Written by Carroll Bryant 


Dead into the night the coyote whines 
His voice penetrates to the moon that shines so bright
Deep inside the mountain the warriors wear the paint 
Sorrow and depression is written on their face 

Another Western story, one they understand 
When white men rules the valley after taking all their land 
The women and the children try to hide their fear 
So much for the summer, winter time is here 

Chief of the Apache 
Life for the Apache 
The Indian cries 

They ride into the morning screaming like some fools
Their weapons drawn and ready as there's nothing else to do 
They didn't want to do it, they tried to look away 
But pale face issued war and they wouldn't let them stay 

Chief of the Apache 
Life for the Apache 
The Indian cries 

And the blood pours out to the ground like water from a Spring 
Standing to fight for their rights but what good did it bring?
And the battle that was fought wasn't good enough to win 
Sign another treaty and then here we go again and again and again 

Dead into the night the coyote whines 
His voice penetrates to the moon that shines so bright
Deep inside the mountain the warriors wear the paint 
Sorrow and depression is written on their face 

Chief of the Apache 
Life for the Apache 
The Indian cries
