There we were, just above the battle,
There was trust in our eyes,
As the blood stained the skies,
Let the world hear our cries…

(chorus)
Ghost dancers, take me where white men don't tread,
Ghost dancers, take me now, for I am dead,
Ghost dancers, take me to immortal realms,
Ghost dancers, take me…away…

Ghosts of our ancestors, please, are you there?
We call for you! Dance for you! Wait for you…
Wind blows the bitter scent of grief through the air,
We live for you, die for you, wait for you…

We wait for you, all alone…
We are calling you, as our blood turns to bone.

Now that I think of it, we did not have a chance,
We fell for what purpose, and is there a choice?
And we waited there, and we started to dance…
As the battle broke out, we rejoiced…

(chorus)

There I was, just above the battle…
I can see every body below…
Here I am, the very last one standing…
The last one, Ghost dancing…

Ghost dancers…take me…away…
