Black Hills lyrics

[Music: D.Gildenlow]

`They tell all the people of Europe, it`s a good, clean industry, it`s a
great way to save the world. But I`m here to tell you that now they`re
knocking on our door because they can`t find any place to store the damned
stuff for eternity, They come to our homeland and they want to lease some
land for 10,000 years!`

This was our home - we had our truth
Bled for our creed - why must we still bleed?
Your tailings are bound forever in this ground...
So you come for our holy ground
When your nature`s gone and your house has burnt down
No!

For hundreds of years you`ve hurt this land
Eating what`s there, leaving a wasteland
But there are no space to hold all your mistakes

Still you come for our holy ground
When your nature`s gone and your houses are all burnt down

[instrumental]

[Hallgren]

`To this day, they will not return our sacred land, even though their
highest hypocritical court said that we could and indeed did, own the
Black Hills. I still continue to struggle for the eventuality of regaining that sacred land.`
