For Once Was Two
Sylvester Paul Jr. - Unama'ki Training & Education Centre, Eskasoni

Meeting under a brilliant Sun
Catching one's glorious gaze to another
Forever is always shorter then it seems
Working in harmony without never in mind
Holding unto their goals they grew whole
Unfailing time reveals many changes
The veils covered their perception
Venom grew deep unto the hearts of two
The lost souls called their names and succeeded
Once again the pit of darkness was revealed
Finding demons the two bled within
Raging actions found no end for the two
No more shall the hands of time be felt
Nor the various afflictions hold grip
Peace is buried forever more
Nothing can undo the hearts of men
Two roses will lay for the two
For once there was freedom
For once the ecstasy was tremendous
For once the sun shone
For once was two

Red Skin
Sylvester Paul Jr. - Unama'ki Training & Education Centre, Eskasoni

My Ancestors lived in Harmony
Not Too far away was the distant Nightmare
Darkness had spread throughout the World
It creeps closer as we sing to Mother
They believed in blood for Father
Where shall we live when we aren't welcome
My skin is red and my ancestors are dead
I am too far from Heaven to believe in Hell
The Mother tastes our essence now
We could not hold them back
My skin is red and my ancestors are dead
Red soaked dirt surrounds our children
We pray to Creator to save us from this
We ask Creator for strength and hope
They did not know that their prayers will not yet come
Years pass as we get weaker
No longer in Harmony yet we strive for peace
My skin is red, we are not dead
Too many times has life denied me love
How has my red skin been a waste
It is not too late to save the weak
Unity under Love and Harmony is bleak
When the moon rises, remember my skin is red
When the sun calls for me, do not wait
We must fix our mistakes
My skin is red and I am not Dead
