Peter Gabriel - San Jacinto (Live) Lyrics

Lyrics San Jacinto (Live) - Peter Gabriel



Thick cloud - steam rising - hissing stone on sweat lodge fire
Around me - buffalo robe - sage in bundle - rub on skin
Outside - cold air - stand, wait for rising sun
Red paint - eagle feathers - coyote calling - it has begun
Something moving in - I taste it in my mouth and in my heart
It feels like dying - slow - letting go of life
Hena Wambdetanka! (Arise Big Eagle!)
Medicine man lead me up through town - Indian ground - so far down
Cut up land - each house - a pool -
Kids wearing water wings - drink in cool
Follow dry river bed - watch Scouts and Guides make pow-wow signs
Past Geronimo's disco - Sit 'n' Bull steakhouse - white men dream
A rattle in the old man's sack -
Look at mountain top - keep climbing up
Way above us the desert snow - white wind blow
I hold the line - the line of strength that pulls me through the fear
San Jacinto - I hold the line
San Jacinto - the poison bite and
Darkness take my sight - I hold the line
And the tears roll down my swollen
Cheek - think I'm losing it - getting weaker
I hold the line - I hold the line
San Jacinto - yellow eagle flies down from the sun - from the sun
We will walk - on the land
We will breathe - of the air
We will drink - from the stream
We will live - hold the line
