Sep Masi - Reign of Terror

On February the twenty seventh
Nineteen hundred and seventy three
A band of local natives began their
72-day occupation of Wounded Knee
The violations and injustices against them
Abhorrent actions by their government
The FBI, Military and The Vigilantes
On a cold-blooded, red skinned hunt
Three years in a Reign Of Terror
A nightmare for all those who dwelled
In this godforsaken reservation
A living flaming hell
Reign of terror
Sweeping this sacred land
Reign of terror
Taking the soul of man
Laying him down
With lead in his blood
Through the Reign of terror
In the Pine Ridge mud
With tanks, bombs and loaded guns
Killing anything in sight that moved
Dressed in black and dressed to kill
Without justice and without proof
Sixty-four souls were taken
By Wilson and GOONS for hire
Taken from their sacred Land
And laid down on a bed of fire
Reign of terror
Sweeping this sacred land
Reign of terror
Taking the soul of man
Laying him down
With lead in his blood
Through the Reign of terror
In the Pine Ridge mud
Along the Pine Ridge Reservation
A grey sky streaked with blood
Smoke choked throats of young men
While their brothers lay in the mud
Banks and Means were brought to trial
Though the case corrupt and convoluted
Judge Nichol dismissed the charges and said
The waters of justice have been polluted
Reign of terror
Sweeping this sacred land
Reign of terror
Taking the soul of man
Laying him down
With lead in his blood
Through the Reign of terror
In the Pine Ridge mud
Reign of terror
Sweeping this sacred land
Reign of terror
Taking the soul of man
Laying him down
With lead in his blood
Through the Reign of terror
In the Pine Ridge mud
