let me tell you about my life
let me tell you about my dreams
let me tell you about the things that happened
always real to me

let me tell you of my hope
of my need to reach the sky
let me take you on an awkward journey
let me tell you why

let me tell you why

why should these curses be laid upon me?
i won't be forgiven 'till i can break free
what did i do to deserve all this guilt?
paid for my sins for the sale of my soul

demons are trapped all inside of my head
my hopes have gone, i reach for heaven from hell
my sins are many, my guilt is too heavy
the pressure of knowing, of having what i know

i'm able to see things, things i don't want to see
the lives of a thousand souls, weighing down on me
i know they're crying for help, reaching out
the burden of them will take me down as well

the sin of a thousand souls not died in vain
reincarnates to let me live again

chorus: (x2)
someone to save me
something to save me from myself
to bring salvation
to exorcise this hell

2nd chorus:
someone to save me
something to save me from my hell
i taste damnation
awake from this nightmare

chorus:
someone to save me
something to save me from myself
to bring salvation
to exorcise this hell

you'll take my life but i'll take yours too
you'll fire your musket but i'll run you through
so when you're waiting for the next attack
you'd better stand there's no turning back.

the bugle sounds and the charge begins
but on this battlefield no one wins
the smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
as i plunge on into certain death.

the horse he sweats with fear we break to run
the mighty roar of the russian guns
and as we race towards the human wall
the screams of pain as my comrades fall

we hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
and the russians fire another round
we get so near yet so far away
we won't live to fight another day.

we get so close near enough to fight
when a russian gets me in his sights
he pulls the trigger and i feel the blow
a burst of rounds take my horse below.

and as i lay there gazing at the sky
my body's numb and my throat is dry
and as i lay forgotten and alone
without a tear i draw my parting groan
				

radio 1 legends session

white man came across the sea
brought us pain and misery
killed our tribes killed our creed
took our game for his own need

we fought him hard we fought him well
out on the plains we gave him hell
but many came too much for cree
oh will we ever be set free?

riding through dustclouds and barren wastes
galloping hard on the plains
chasing the redskins back to their holes
fighting them at their own game
murder for freedom a stab in the back
women and children and cowards attack

run to the hills run for your lives
run to the hills run for your lives

soldier blue on the barren wastes
hunting and killing their game
raping the women and wasting the men
the only good indians are tame
selling them whisky and taking their gold
enslaving the young and destroying the old

run to the hills run for your lives
