Shagohod - Lightning Rifle (or The Buffalo Deserter) Lyrics

"Commander could I freshen up your coffee" I ask with bloody hands
My request to speak freely is promptly denied
With a drag on his pipe he says, "We don't make peace, we make demands"
"We'll do what we must if they won't step aside"
If I get out of this alive
I fear I'll just come back for more
When the cavalry arrives
My company will be ignored
When the petition at Ojo Caliente is sent back overturned
And Victorio's riders dispatch to oppose
I'll venture to voice my apprehension with a question on my mind-
When did the gray wolf start dressing in indigo clothes?
Fix bayonet and ready arms!
Take a knee and raise them high!
It's getting hard enough to aim
With the bastard standing on our side
Boundless plains and open skies
A kettle quick becomes a cage
If I break off before the fall
Will I meet ruin, just the same?
