The Edge of Comancheria
by James Hyland
What do we owe to the edge of our blades
Carved from rock, like the past tribe made
by hand with tools of stone,
handle’s antler or an animal bone
Let us say Sir, we’ve been here before
Enter this land, you're gonna get a war
We’re the people who live on the plains
If it wasn’t for us, this would all be Spain
We’ll battle with your brigades
We’re still here like the edge on these blades
Defending this land with hands and stone
Fighting off armies with flint arrows
It’s a wild, It’s a wild, It’s a wild land.
The wild thing is, you're only here
cause the edge of these blades moved man up a tier
And now future man when your hair’s in my hand
the edge’ll come down to protect this land
I’m not fighting sir, I’m making a stand
You’re trying to say we can’t live on this land
Natural law out where we ride
Well out here, you win or you die
And now Captain Jack’s riding on our land
And his Rangers have a shot for every finger on the hand
You’re just cowboys we’re the greatest horsemen
Some counted coup by the time they’ve turned 10
It’s a wild, a wild, It’s a wild land.
So we’re gonna battle, over land
Where we know every cave, and every river bend
You could chase us all night, through the sleet, snow, and rain
We’ll lose you in the canyons we’ll lose ya on the Plains
We’re true warriors, defending our home
Our families live where the buffalo roam
It's a sacred land, it's a hunting ground
it's not the kind of place you go putting up towns
But new people keep flooding this land
And we’re gonna make em have to take it by hand
We’re still here, like the edge of these blades
Even our horses are covered in war paint
It’s a wild, wild, It’s a wild land.
