The chase commenced
as a full moon rose,
life to death is
how it goes.

One last tree
before the cliff stole pride,
no stopping the beast,
they all died.

Tonight the
pipe is passed
and they'll dance for rain...

It was raining buffalo
before the belching train.

Tracks ran over the kyphosis tree
so gnarled in the full moon's light.
Over time it's been forgotten,
her roots became parched,
her trunk was suppressed.

God resurrect the kyphosis tree...

Kyphosis (Greek - kyphos, a ****), also called hunchback, is a common condition of a curvature of the upper spine.

This is about how the Indians would chase herds of buffalo to the edges of cliffs and the buffalo would fall to their death. Also inspired by the song, "Great White Buffalo" by Ted Nugent.
