The Shaman and the Thief |
Frost in the air |
Northern lights brought me here |
And where I walk, God walks with me |
I only eat what the earth has offered me |
And no one owns the berries or leaves |
Now you’re in my house, and you call me a thief? |
You don’t understand |
What it means to be of this land |
You have to learn how to read marks on the trees |
For the laws that you know, they don’t apply here |
Such mighty words! |
Are you God? |
I hadn’t heard |
Are you the one who made the wind blow? |
Well, you must be great! |
A creation that can create? |
But the grass isn’t yours, and you don’t make it grow |
[Verse 4: Moddi + Mari Boine |
You are a sham |
Don’t you know who I am? |
I do not fold my hands |
I’ll never pray to what you call God |
All that I need |
Are ways to feed your greed | |
is earth beneath my feet |
To have it all | |
to have it all |
Shaman, you’re a fraud! |
So leave and leave me be, I’ll drive you away |
So leave and leave me be, I’ll drive you away |
Leave and leave me be, I’ll drive you away |
Shaman, old fool |
Times change and so shall you |
They will burn your house down and spit at your name |
But thief beware: My song will linger here |
And in time you will be sorry you came |
My friend, save your breath |
You’re chanting in vain |
So leave and leave me be |
So leave and leave me be |
So leave and leave me be |
I’ll drive you away |
