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 |
