Death By Exposure Lyrics

She lay there for weeks before they found her.

Bury her as Jane Doe; send her hands to match for prints

And lie about the cause of death to halt investigations

You can't miss a bullet hole unless you look the other way

She came to protest, to make her voice heard

And fight against corruption tearing up her nation

Pine Ridge cover-up. Silence those who don't agree

The Bureau's walls still shake when someone says her name

Anna Mae. Her story lives on.

The Host World rises to take back what is theirs

Thirty years have passed and this case isn't solved

Hidden in a mass of lies, will the truth ever prevail?

Buried for the third time and they won't let her rest

She's a martyr to the white man, a symbol of resistance

Looking for a scapegoat and pointing fingers back and forth

To divert our attention, as they've always done

In hope of once again, once again getting awayHumanifesto - Death By Exposure - http://motolyrics.com/humanifesto/death-by-exposure-lyrics.html

With murdering an innocent and spilling blood across the land

Wounded Knee. Your earth is soiled

With the blood of innocents and the powder from our guns

The sands of time are on an endless loop

The repeated lies believed as truths

Three decades passed, she's now back home

Three decades passed, her killers never found

Justice won't ever be served

They'll never get what they deserved

It's easier to get away when the ones out looking are your friends

"March, 1976... Sioux elders say the winds always howl

When the body of a murder victim is moved.

During the traditional wake and funeral given Anna Mae Pictou Aquash

The week-end of March 12, 1976, a storm peaked

Sending 30-mile-per-hour winds blasting across the desolate fields

And shaking the rickety Jumping Bull Hall where the wake was being held."
