Текст (слова) песни: Band, The - The Code Of Handsome Lake

 
*These are the People of the Longhouse 
These are the People that you tried to break 
These are the People of the Pines 
Who Follow the Code of Handsome Lake 
 
He drank your poison, swallowed your fire 
And lay with fever four long years 
He received a vision so inspired 
Three messengers with painted faces appeared 
On the Allegheny river at a place called Burnt House 
The code was shared for the very first time 
By a Seneca chief, they call Handsome Lake 
With a Wounded Heart and a sober mind 
 
*Repeat 
 
**We are the People of the Longhouse 
We are the People that you couldn`t break 
We are the People of the Sacred Pipe 
Who Follow The Code of Handsome Lake 
 
When the Dark Moon had come to live in your soul 
Get in touch with your creator, you are not alone 
These are the words 
That he had spoken two hundred years ago 
And today they still ring true 
Like they`re carved in stone 
When Native life was hurled into the pit 
By way of the Canon, Rum, and Greed 
Oh a great fire was burned, to let the smoke rise 
And show the Six Nations the code was still alive 
 
Way Down Deep in the Bush 
We Oh hi ne oh he oh we oh we we 
(section repeats 4 times) 
 
* Repeat 
**Repeat
