Sacred Circle lyrics
SACRED CIRCLE
I never knew pride and i never knew dignity
I never lived truth cuz ive only lived insanity
humanity insanity this is what youve done to me
this is what you do to me
so now its land and liberty
This is the reality the gava has gave
from the slayer to the slave
and the cradle to the grave
a world with no windows
and a world with no mirrors
a world with no doors
and a world with no tears
no mother since my birth
cuz i never touched the earth
and i never touched sky
cuz i never knew why
see i never knew the moon
and i never knew the sun
i never knew humanity and nature
were all one
cuz i never lived the circle
see ive only lived the square
ive only lived the square
cuz they taught me not to care
you know think for yourself
put compassion on the shelf
compete until you die
and defeat to get by
see I never knew to question
all the things that i was taught
I never realized the falseness
of their thoughts
from the slayer to the slave
and the cradle to the grave
the direction of my path
had i not been saved
i was saved by my roots
yes my true culture
i saw through the lies
of that western vulture
the western culture
and all its inhumanity
ravages the earth
as it perpetrates insanity
humanity insanity
this is what youve done to me
this is what you do to me
so now its land and liberty
a Ho
Mitakuye oyasin!
In the spirit of Cuitlahuac
In the spirit of Zapata
and in the spirit of Crazy horse
Respect to your mother
all my sisters and brothers
la sagrada tonantzin
the sacred earth mother
the sacred earth mother but shes only half alive
shes only half alive but we need her to survive
we need her to survive but we lost all our connection
our connection to the circle and the sacred 4 directions
the sacred 4 d and its manifestations
reveals ometeotl and all its creation
from the mother to the earth to the sky to the father
to the earth, to the air, to the fire, to the water
to the north, to the south, to the east, to the west
when we use to live in harmony we use to live the best
we use to give and take we use to take and give
we use to be in balance thats how we use to live
this is sacred circle this is our connection
now our mother is sick and shes cut up all in sections
how it was and how it shall be
unless we understand this we will never be free
we will never be free unless we live in harmony
we will never be free unless we realize prophecy
cuz prophecy is aztlan and aztlan’s destiny
destiny is aztlan cuz aztlan holds the key
aztlan holds the key for our people to be free
aztlan holds the key for the world to see
that aztlan will save the world eventually
repeat 9x
A-ho mitakuye oyasin! All my relations!
