Fear And Anguish
None of us will soon forgetThe Day before those things arrivedIn the Churchyard on the hill,A man had just buried his brideShe returned that day, alive.There's a silhouette on the horizonLike an evil stain on the rising sun.And as it approached, we saw it was her.And her eyes were red,She said "You're all dead!",Then collapsed down to the groundAs if somebody cut her strings.
Fear and anguish reignsEver since they came.We used to walk the streets of townNow we know we never will again.
Suddenly over the hillA dog lets out an anguished howlThere ain't a beast this side of HellThat could've brought on what befell that hound.He was torn from limb to limb.There's an evil stench creeping on the wind.Reeks of pestilence mixed with death and sin.From over the range that is where we foundScattered on the ground, fifty heads of steer.But what's real queer;We searched all aroundNo other part was found!
Fear and anguish reignedEver since they came.We used to walk the streets of townNow we know we never will again.
Some say from the skies they fell.Others claim they came straight from hell.Some swear they are from the dark,Yet others they believe they cameFrom our angry hearts.
And tonight we rideOut of desperation.For the mountainside,Towards the reservation.See if they might knowHow to stand the tide.Yet when we arrivedThey turn their heads,And the chief said:"Now you know how we feltWhen the white man came!"
Fear and anguish reignedEver since they came.We used to walk the streets of townNow we know we never will again.
