Lingua: Inglese




On July of the year 1990, in a Mohawk community
When a forgin' government wants native land
In the name of their own greed...

They called the event... Oka Crisis!!!
They called the event... Oka Crisis!!!
A group of Mohawk Warriors
Were making their stand
Letting forging know
That this is native land
Making it up for 270 years, never forgetting what happen in the past
Making it up for 270 years, never forgetting the lies after lies
Resistance for 270 years, never forgetting what happen in the past
Resistance for 270 years, never forgetting the lies after lies..

Along the drums to the Pines – you hear their voice rise
Along the drums to the Pines – you can hear the people rise
Along the drums to the Pines – you hear their voice rise
Along the drums to the Pines – you can see the Warriors rise

Peace talk were at work,
but the whites were played their old ways
The cops came and the army went in..
Like their for-fathers did the yesterday.

They called the event... Oka Crisis!!!
They called the event... Oka Crisis!!!

The group of Mohawk Warriors
Made their stand
Letting forgin' know,
this will always be native land

Making it up for 270 years, never forgetting what happen in the past
Making it up for 270 years, never forgetting the lies after lies
Resistance for 270 years, never forgetting what happen in the past
Resistance for 270 years, never forgetting the lies after lies

Along the drums to the Pines – you hear their voice rise
Along the drums to the Pines – you can hear the people rise
Along the drums to the Pines – you hear their voice rise
Along the drums to the Pines – you can see the Warriors rise..

Resistance of struggle and hope,
Resistance of struggle and hope,
Resistance of struggle and hope..
