The Comanche

Running From Me

The Comanche

Lawless and open, gods are upon me
Stranger days have passed and they have cursed
Woeful am I, woe in my cup...I stir with tears
Long and historic is my journey 
Creed forgotten, love lost years
Crimson am I, veins are replete with drainage
The sin
Oh, the sin of knowing you at the very first breath...
of hello....to cliff-hanger death
Lust is gem-like, priceless when your princess teeth show
In a smile that promises beauty
....and warns of catastrophe
Gods, will you hear my whisper
Boldly I say her name
Listen, talk amongst yourselves
Speak of golden days and less dangerous endeavors, when I prayed with my peace pipe
Stolen moments at night, I disrespected
The teachings of my forefathers, how they must curse
Oh, how they curse...thunder shakes my bones
Lightning strikes where I want to step
Rain is firewater
And I take a drink
But, her memory stays
Like a faithful steed
A wild mustang that runs in my wearied mind
I was once Geronimo
I was Tecumseh
I was Crazy Horse
Now I am just crazy
I became angry, I became savage
When your princess smile turned in witching hours
When I prayed foolishly for love
I ran from my house, my people, my world, my holy ground
To escape your devil words, your death goodbye
Escape was a sundance 
Freedom was fantasy
For I could never be truly emancipated
Until I face myself....
the Comanche in me
