Song lyrics
Mitakuye oyasin lel ohinni e yelo 
(All of my people are all still here) 

Soon I will be here no more 
You'll hear my tale 
Through my blood 
Through my people 
And the eagle's cry 
The bear within will never lay to rest 

Wandering on Horizon Road 
Following the trail of tears 

White man came 
Saw the blessed land 
We cared, you took 
You fought, we lost 
Not the war but an unfair fight 
Sceneries painted beautiful in blood 

Wandering on Horizon Road 
Following the trail of tears 
Once we were here 
Where we have been since the world began 
Since time itself gave us this land 

[Singing in Lakotan] 

Our souls will join again the wild 
Our home in peace 'n war 'n death 

Wandering on Horizon Road 
Following the trail of tears 
Once we were here 
Where we have been since the world began 
Since time itself gave us this land 

[Poem in Lakotan] 
Hanhepi iyuha mi ihanbla ohinni yelo 

Òn sunkmanitutankapi hena, 
sunkawakanpi watogha hena, 

oblaye t`ankapi oihankesni hena 

T`at`epi kin asni kiyasni he 
akatanhanpi iwankal 

Oblaye t`anka kin 
osicesni mitakuyepi òn 

Makoce kin wakan 
Wakan Tanka kin òn 

Miwicala ohinni - Hanhepi iyuha 
kici - Anpetu iyuha kici yelo 

Mi yececa hehaka kin yelo, na 
ni yececa sunkmanitutankapi 

kin ka mikaga wowasaka isom 

Uncinpi tuweni nitaku keyas ta k`u 

Unwakupi e`cela e wiconi 
wanji unmakainapi ta yelo 

Anpetu waste e wan olowan 
le talowan winyan ta yelo 

Unwanagi pi lel e nita it`okab o`ta ye 

Untapi it`okab o`ta 

Na e kte ena òn hanska ohakap 
ni itansni a`u nita ni ihanke yelo 



ENGLISH TRANSLATION 
I still dream every night 
Of them wolves, them mustangs, those endless prairies 
The restless winds over mountaintops 
The unspoilt frontier of my kith n`kin 
The hallowed land of the Great Spirit 
I still believe 
In every night 
In every day 
I am like the caribou 
And you like the wolves that make me stronger 
We never owed you anything 
Our only debt is one life for our Mother 
It was a good day to chant this song 
For Her 

Our spirit was here long before you 
Long before us 
And long will it be after your pride brings you to your end

I don't think it's an American sound I just think it's a sucky sound. AHH NIGHTWISH CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS!

I don't think it's that bad. True, I don't appreciate the Indian guy too much, but the symphony is great.

I don't know what you guys here are talking about. I know this song is unbelivably gripping (if it's ok to say so about a song). Especially when the choir comes along somewhere in the middle... Love it.

It's quite different from other Nightwish songs, but however it's in my personal top5 of Nightwish songs. It's not really American style, it's just a song with beautiful lyrics, beautiful music and Tarja's beautiful voice. It really takes me to higher places.

I'm not so sure about the poem at the end, it goes on way too long. >.

Yeah the song is good at the beginning though...

Does anyone know where one can get a translation of the Lakotan lyrics and poem? I think that might be an important thing.

This song just makes me wanna bowe in front of Tuomas. The parts where John Two-Hawks is talking can get little boring, when you listen this many times, but nevertheless a brilliant song.

The message of the song is stunning. I love it. I love the whole song... I think it's the best one in this album.

Btw, I have never read that poem in the end in english before. It makes the song even better now when I know what it means!

One of Nightwish's great epics.

The poem at the end is beautiful and haunting, and generally, its a touching, beautiful song.

it seems to be unpopular on the NW board, but i can't see why. it's pretty much of the same standard as Dark chest of wonders and higher than hope.
