Thundering Hooves And Blazing Guns
Deep in the lands of the west
There was a spirit that never gave rest
It showed itself in forest green
And the mountain's icy sheen
With great big open sky
Where a hawk would sometimes fly
But the wild son had a broken silence
As shots were followed by a cry of defiance
A band of riders were giving chase
Bandanas pulled up to obscure their face
Peacekeepers were drawn spitting fire and lead
Hoping a bullet would make it's way into a head
But the rider they chased and so sought
Led them into the valley of death and rot
For here the wild men did take to these
So a flurry of arrows were soon free
It was an ambush of the most clever design
It baffled these chasing rider's minds
Too late as arrows buried themselves deep inside
That soon put an end to their wild ride
The one who was formerly pursued
Had come up with this plan so shrewd
Basic it was but it worked against those of ill
A most clever way to ensure the kill
The rider is to bee chased across the land
And lead them straight to his tribe's waiting hands
And soo this was one more they had taken away
The scalps were gathered as they flayed
But this was the price to pay
When one went against the Apache way
There was a spirit that never gave rest
It showed itself in forest green
And the mountain's icy sheen
With great big open sky
Where a hawk would sometimes fly
But the wild son had a broken silence
As shots were followed by a cry of defiance
A band of riders were giving chase
Bandanas pulled up to obscure their face
Peacekeepers were drawn spitting fire and lead
Hoping a bullet would make it's way into a head
But the rider they chased and so sought
Led them into the valley of death and rot
For here the wild men did take to these
So a flurry of arrows were soon free
It was an ambush of the most clever design
It baffled these chasing rider's minds
Too late as arrows buried themselves deep inside
That soon put an end to their wild ride
The one who was formerly pursued
Had come up with this plan so shrewd
Basic it was but it worked against those of ill
A most clever way to ensure the kill
The rider is to bee chased across the land
And lead them straight to his tribe's waiting hands
And soo this was one more they had taken away
The scalps were gathered as they flayed
But this was the price to pay
When one went against the Apache way
