Little Wolf’s Invincible Yellow Medicine Paint
[Verse 1]
Out on the plains
Where the buffalo once roamed
I fed my family
Where the devil made his home
Now there ain't nothin’ left
But the dry and barren land
And the empty callous hands
That have sifted through the sand, now

God is alive
And magic is afoot
I been tracin’ trails
Of the black fire holy soot
Now, you pay no mind
To the kind you left declined
Only shadows cast behind
Find the daylight hardly shines, now

[Chorus]
Cover me up
In Little Wolf's paint
Medicine heal me
Take my fears away
And now, I have been down
But I ain’t out yet
I keep your prayers
That I find my worthy death
[Verse 2]
I was a child once
Thrown into the game
I was born naked
Til’ they gave me a name
Now I'm past the point of
No return
I am a man
And I've learned all I could learn, now

My father’s son
I am the one
I killed my brother
And I've barely just begun
Now, I drink my own blood
I make the thunder thud
I writhe in the mud
And I'm prayin’ for the flood, now

[Chorus]
Cover me up
In Little Wolf’s paint
Medicine heal me
Take my fear away
And now, I have been down
But I ain't out yet
I keep your prayers
That find my worthy death
[Bridge]
Everything is dead
Everything is dead
Everything is dead
Everything is dead, now

Everything is dead
Everything is dead
Everything is dead
Everything is dead, now

Everything is dead
Everything is dead
Everything is dead
Everything is dead, now

[Chorus]
Cover me up
In Litte Wolf's paint
Medicine heal me
Take my fear away
And now, I have been down
But I ain’t out yet
I keep your prayers
That I find my worthy death
