We’re Pre-American Nations
Standing with Standing Rock
Our relations
Entirely free originally
Forever that way we shall rightfully be
Rejecting claim discovery

The colonizer’s claim to discover our nations
They brought us death, destruction and lamentations
sub actuali dominio temporali aliquorum dominorum
Hidden code words, don’t ignore ’em

Beautiful Standing Rock, Sacred Locations
Dapple has bulldozed, willful desecrations
Christendom claimed to possess our lives
We all know that’s nothing but lies
With a colonial design to dehumanize

imperii Christiani propagationem
They did rituals on our shores, then claimed to own ’em
You can’t discover another nations home
With supposed permission from a Pope in Rome

Then rightfully impose a capitol dome
Kings, queens, potentates
Bearing symbols of church and state
Claim the right to dominate
Their ancestor sailed under color of god
Divine right to take that was nothing but fraud

We’re sustained by our spirituality
And our abiding reality
So they’ve tried to destroy our sacred places
Yet we’ve held tight
They’re never going to erase us

From this blue orb of day and night
With living waters and sunlight
We pray for all the elements of Life

We’re the Pre-American Nations
Standing with Standing Rock
Our relations
Entirely free originally
Forever that way we shall rightfully be
Rejecting their claim superiority
Mni Wiconi
We know water is life for everyone
