The spirits warned us, many years ago

Of a plague of white, but was not the snow

To lie and cheat and kill for our sacred land

We had no escape, from the great white man



Suffer the innocent, for so many years

We left our blood and souls

Along the trail (of tears)



We tried to resist the best way we knew how

We really had no chance, we all see that now

More and more they came, driven by their greed

We were all exiled, it was their final deed



The trail of tears, driven far from our home

The trail of tears, From where we all belong

On the trail of tears



The trail of tears, driven far from our home

The trail of tears, From where we all belong



Suffer the innocent, for so many years

We left our blood and souls

Along the trail (of tears)



The centuries have passed, since they did appear

On and on they go, we still all live in fear



The trail of tears, driven far from our home

The trail of tears, From where we all belong

The spirits warned us so many years ago

The trail of tears, silence is the warrior's song

The trail of tears, driven far from our home
