Sand Creek River

ENG Versions :
They have taken our heart
From underneath a dark blanket
Under a small dead moon
We were sleeping without fear
It was a twenty-years-old general
Blue eyes, the same as his coat
It was a twenty-years-old general
Son of a thunderstorm

There is a silver dollar at the bottom of Sand Creek

Our warriors too far on the bison trail
And that distant music became louder and louder
I closed my eyes three times
But I was still there
I asked my Grandpa is this just a dream?
My Grandpa said yes

Sometimes fish sing at the bottom of Sand Creek

I dreamed so hard that my nose bled
The flash in one ear, in the other Paradise
The smallest tears,
The biggest tears
When the tree of the snow
Blossomed of red stars

Now the children sleep at the bottom of Sand Creek

When the sun raised his head
From the shoulders of the night
There were only dogs and smoke and upset tents
I shot an arrow at the sky to let it breathe
I shot an arrow at the wind
To make it bleed

Look for the third arrow at the bottom of Sand Creek

They have taken our heart From underneath a dark blanket
Under a small dead moon We were sleeping without fear
It was a twenty-years-old general
Blue eyes the same as his coat
It was a twenty-years-old general
Son of a thunderstorm

Now the children sleep at the bottom of Sand Creek

The Sand Creek massacre (also known as the Chivington massacre, the Battle of Sand Creek or the massacre of Cheyenne Indians) was an atrocity in the American Indian Wars that occurred on November 29, 1864, when a 700-man force of Colorado Territory militia attacked and destroyed a peaceful village of Cheyenne and Arapaho inhabited in southeastern Colorado Territory,[3] killing and mutilating an estimated 70–163 Indians, about two-thirds of whom were women and children. The location has been designated the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site and is administered by the National Park Service.
