[Intro]
Smoke in the hollow,
Moon on the stone,
Feet in the dust where
No one walks alone.

[Verse]
We gathered where the pine trees leaned,
Where the night birds never cried,
The women sang a broken song,
The children stayed inside.
A circle formed around the fire,
Hands rose into the air,
And every step upon the earth
Became a living prayer.

[Pre-Chorus]
The hills were dark but not deserted,
The dead were near but not asleep,
Every wound that went unspoken
Rose from places old and deep.

[Chorus]
Ghost Dance of the Hills, carry us higher,
Round and round the memory fire.
Let the old ones answer still,
In the Ghost Dance of the Hills.

[Verse]
I saw my mother in the sparks,
I saw my brothers in the smoke,
I heard the sound of distant hoofbeats
Every time the embers spoke.
No empire owns the midnight,
No law can rule the soul,
When the bones beneath the mountain
Make the broken people whole.

[Pre-Chorus]
We were hunted, we were scattered,
But the stars remained our shield.
Every name they tried to bury
Rose like thunder from the field.

[Chorus]
Ghost Dance of the Hills, carry us higher,
Round and round the memory fire.
Let the old ones answer still,
In the Ghost Dance of the Hills.

[Instrumental]
Hand drums pulse, strings ascend,
Voices rise where sorrows bend.

[Bridge]
Dance for the mothers, dance for the sons,
Dance for the rivers, dance for the guns.
Dance for the dawn that refuses to die,
Dance till the smoke climbs into the sky.

[Breakdown]
We are not gone.
We are not dust.
We are the oath
They could not crush.

[Build-up]
Step by step, flame by flame,
Call the lost by every name.

[Chorus]
Ghost Dance of the Hills, carry us higher,
Round and round the memory fire.
Let the old ones answer still,
In the Ghost Dance of the Hills.

[Chorus]
Ghost Dance of the Hills, never be still,
Break the dark with an iron will.
When the night grows cold and still,
We rise in the Ghost Dance of the Hills.

[Outro]
Smoke in the hollow,
Moon on the stone,
Feet in the dust where
No one walks alone.
