The general rode for sixteen days
The horses were thirsty and tired
On the trail of a renegade chief
One he'd come to admire
The soldiers hid behind the hills
That surrounded the village
And he rode down to warn the chief
They'd come to conquer and pillage

Lay down your arms
Lay down your spear
The chief's eyes were sad
But showed no sign of fear

(chorus)
It is a good day to die
Oh my children dry your eyes
It is a good day to die

He spoke of the days before the white man came
With his guns and whisky
He told of a time a long time ago
Before what you call history
The general couldn't believe his words
Nor the look on his face
But he knew these people would rather die
Then have to live in this disgrace

What law have I broken
What wrong have I done
That makes you want to bury me
Upon this trail of blood

(chorus)

We cared for the land and the land cared for us
And that's the way it's always been
Never asked for more never asked too much
And now you tell me this is the end

I laid down my weapon
Laid down my bow
Now you want to drive me out
With no place left to go

(chorus)

And he turned to his people and said dry your eyes
We've been blessed and we are thankful
Raise your voices to the sky
It is a good day to die


Mirror lyrics:

It is a good day to die
Raise your voices to the sky
We've been blessed and we are thankful
And he turned to his people and said dry your eyes

(chorus)

With no place left to go
Now you want to drive me out
Laid down my bow
I laid down my weapon

And now you tell me this is the end
Never asked for more never asked too much
And that's the way it's always been
We cared for the land and the land cared for us

(chorus)

Upon this trail of blood
That makes you want to bury me
What wrong have I done
What law have I broken

Then have to live in this disgrace
But he knew these people would rather die
Nor the look on his face
The general couldn't believe his words
Before what you call history
He told of a time a long time ago
With his guns and whisky
He spoke of the days before the white man came

It is a good day to die
Oh my children dry your eyes
It is a good day to die
(chorus)

But showed no sign of fear
The chief's eyes were sad
Lay down your spear
Lay down your arms

They'd come to conquer and pillage
And he rode down to warn the chief
That surrounded the village
The soldiers hid behind the hills
One he'd come to admire
On the trail of a renegade chief
The horses were thirsty and tired
The general rode for sixteen days
