[Intro] [Verse] In 1879, on the dandy Lee Custer train, Through the desert valley, they went again. Apache warriors, they struck without a sound, Many soldiers fell, just like that, around. [Verse] Survivors learned the reason for the f***t, Native Americans, just trying to take their right. To live, to thrive, in their ancestral land, But the army came, and it ended so grand. [Pre-chorus] Why did they clash? Was it greed or pride? Both sides lost, in this tragic stride. [Chorus] In the desert valley, a tragedy played, Soldiers and natives, both paid. For survival's sake, they fought and died, A story that echoes, from the past to the side. [Verse] Years passed, the tale still whispered in the wind, A reminder of what happened, so kind. But now we see, beyond the clash of steel, The heartache of those who lived and fell. [Pre-chorus] Why did they clash? Was it greed or pride? Both sides lost, in this tragic stride. [Chorus] In the desert valley, a tragedy played, Soldiers and natives, both paid. For survival's sake, they fought and died, A story that echoes, from the past to the side. [Chorus] In the desert valley, a tragedy played, Soldiers and natives, both paid. For survival's sake, they fought and died, A story that echoes, from the past to the side. [Outro]
