Song Lyrics

Rose before the Sun
Left our home in Walla Walla
Where the memory of our fathers will remain
And over the Mountain trail,
to the banks of the clear water
On the Camas Prairie we were forced to stay

To say the man can own the land defies the laws of nature
And those were things we didn't understand
And all the broken promises of peace just turned to anger
We played right into their hands

As the sun shines down
And dries this blood soaked ground
My heart is sick and sad
And this ragtag band
Will be long gone by tomorrow
Far away where the sun now stands

Hiding in the shadows of the blood moon in the big sky
Moving at a pace we couldn't hold
The miles and the mountains took its toll upon the weary
As we traveled through the cold

One last bloody battle forty miles from the border
After we made our final stand
They promised to return us to our home, if we'd surrender
And we played right into their hands

As the sun shines down
And dries the blood soaked ground
My heart is sick and sad
And this ragtag band
Will fight no more forever
Far away where the sun now stands

Willy Braun, Gary Braun
