[offset:-500]
[00:30.26] Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding.
[00:35.01] Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile egg-shell mind
[00:42.62] Blood in the streets
[00:44.19] In the town of New Haven.
[00:46.83] Blood stains the roofs
[00:48.47] And the palm trees of Venice.
[00:51.07] Blood in my love
[00:52.54] In the terrible summer.
[00:55.44] Bloody red sun of
[00:57.39] Phantastic L.A.
[01:01.94] Blood screams her brain
[01:03.00] As they chop off her fingers.
[01:06.00] Blood will be born
[01:07.14] In the birth of a nation.
[01:10.30] Blood is the rose of
[01:12.16] Mysterious union.
[01:14.57] Blood on the rise,
[01:15.74] It's following me.
[01:17.92]
[01:23.15] Indian, Indian
[01:24.64] What did you die for?
[01:27.74] Indian says nothing at all.
[01:36.19] Gently they stir.
[01:39.19] Gently rise.
[01:40.94] The dead are new-born awakening.
[01:43.45] With ravaged limbs
[01:44.69] And wet souls.
[01:46.35] Gently they sigh
[01:47.63] In rapt funeral amazement.
[01:50.56] Who called these dead to dance?
[01:53.86] Was it the young woman
[01:55.40] Learning to play the "Ghost Song"
[01:56.82] In her baby grand
[02:00.10] Was it the wilderness children?
[02:02.14] Was it the Ghost-God himself,
[02:04.18] Stuttering, cheering,
[02:05.67] Chatting blindly?
[02:08.07] I called you up to
[02:09.45] Annoint the earth.
[02:10.52] I called you to announce
[02:11.79] Sadness falling like
[02:13.22] Burned skin.
[02:15.14] I called you to wish you well
[02:16.79] To glory in self like a new monster
[02:19.25] And now I call on you to pray
