The sublime Rare Bird song Redman, taken from the bands final album 'Born Again', an esoteric remaster. Lyrics below....

Brave and proud, as all the village vowed

That the land would belong to our sons

We pledged our name, but then the wagons came

And we ran from the sound of the guns

Fugitives across the land, with empty hearts and empty heads

And all the troubles underneath the sun

Life was all we had to give

But not the life we used to live

With all the triumph over now, and done

Sick and weak

We came to Bitter Creek

In the year i became twenty five

The young and old

We faced the bitter cold

In the last grave event of our lives

Underdogs in every place

And every line on every face

Remained to tell of land that we had lost

Leaning on the only hope

We laid with elk and antelope

To fight the killing fever of the frost

Robbed of the right, to be one with the white

It's the end of the fight for the Redman

Gone is the grace and the pride from his face

It's the end of the race for the Redman
