To make him whole again
In the blessed holy water
Now I feather up my nest
Where the dust meets the sea?
But killing is His mercy
Then I looked up way above me
I pay my servant well
But I laid my wings to rest
And I'll die where I fall
Who say we shame the blood of Christ
There's a lily in the valley
Colors on my wall
And if you come to this place
A Christian burial was all he needed
Tell them dreams and miracles
And I drowned the noble savage
And I pretend no blessed evil
On a horse that I can trust
Once I beat myself in vengeance
Where I bought the news to Lo
I offered him my visions
Turn it loose in a lonely place
I fired his filthy village
Bury my heart
In the hot dry dust
Because my bible tells me so
So I don't hear that thunder start
There are flags in my backyard
Tell my children only truths
And will you bury my heart
And nits grow into lice
And teach them to be proud
So I drew my shining saber
There are liars in the world
I did it for Him, I did it for Him
Bury my heart
Now I'm going to the wilderness
And God rent the sky apart
I shouted out, "I'm not to blame"
Bury my heart
And I slew my sinning friend
I did it for Him, He made me do it
And when the thunder starts
So will you bury my soul
Remember this truth
Bury my heart
We're God's chosen people
That only the mountains live forever
But I make the bastard crawl
I civilized his daughter
And all the gooks I napalmed
And when the fools put me on trial
Put them in the ground
I'm born a traveling trouper
Where a man can still be free
He tore the heavens apart
I did it in His name
I put them into vicious practice
Only the earth endures
Make up my clothes and sheets in a ball
This and other truths I know
But the heathen rose to go
