Psalm of Sand Creek |
| Smoke from broken camps |
| Smoke from broken contracts |
| Borne out on November winds |
| A flock of seven hundred sheep |
| Led by one who cruelly preached |
| A man who coldly traded blood for blood |
| And at the bend of old Sand Creek |
| The men out hunting to the east |
| The women and their children fast asleep |
| Who is to blame for this most shameful thing? |
| Chivington’s soldiers take aim |
| They mowed them down with rifle fire |
| They ran them through with sabers |
| They pulled the babes from where they hid |
| And snuffed their lives with hatred |
| Though they huddled 'neath the flag |
| There was no shelter to be had |
| The ground was clotted thick with blood and scalps |
| Who takes the blame for this tragic scene? |
| May Chivington be smothered in flames |
| May Chivington be smothered in flames |
| Nothing lives too long |
| Only earth and mountains |
| Nothing lives too long |
| Only earth and mountains |
