"The Strongest Force"

____________________________
Young Annie-May,.... they took her life
Chopped off her hands - just out of spite
But, Annie's spirit dances on, and on, and on
At the siege - everyone did their part ;
Buddy Lamont - he gave his heart
But, Buddy's spirit dances on, and on, and on
Pig caged the Eagle, put him down ;
Made him live death, tied to the ground
But, Eagle's spirit dances on, and on, and on
Because - the strongest force on this earth, is :
THE TRUTH
They, who all along were strong -
It may seem, that they've gone on
But, their spirit dances on, and on, and on
With a belief, and a right to defend it ;
The broken circle will be mended
It will dance on, and on, and on
Eagle cries, "God is Red!"
The sacred tree - it is not dead
It will dance on, and on, and on
Because - the strongest force on this earth, is :
THE TRUTH
