about

Our lyricist wrote a poem about the genocide of buffalos in the USA
and this song is based on the poem.

lyrics

HEY GIACINTO! IT’S YOUR YANKEE FRIEND!

And Yankee Sam glances over
With waspish smile
Westward wind begins to howl
And carries scent
Of rotting flesh
Sam wears carrion glasses
And cap-toed Derby’s
The colour of bone char
Illegally imported Cuban cigar
Hangs between his lips
HEY SAM HOW ARE YA?
HEY SAM HOW YA BEEN?

And great Baptist Sam
Walks strange dog on a chain
Creature without form
Non - Euclidian, smoky
Opens tentacled maw and
Barks like metal grinding
Circular saw on bone
The march of semi - human feet
Through fetid bogland
The ghost of medicine Bill
Rises from the mire and yells

GET A JOB, DICKHEAD! GET TO WORK CATHOLIC SCUM! KILL EVERY BUFFALO YOU CAN! EVERY BUFFALO DEAD IS AN INDIAN GONE!

Hot young tech entrepreneur
Smokes a little hash
On commercial / spiritual retreat
Sent visions otherworldly
By various demiurges
And this carnal metropole
Gasps in horror
As issued from his right hand
Blood boils through
Pipes beneath the Western plains
And the heaped skulls
Of the predestined - damned
Cry together in chorus

I’M GOING WITH MY GATLING GUN TO THE PLACE WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM!
AND ONLY THE GREAT PAN HIMSELF SHALL KNOW THE PLACE WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM!
