Seven seas seven skies
 
 Lightning strikes and brave men die
 
 Tatanka great, Tatanka small
 
 When darkness comes they kill them all
 
 Tatanka
 
  
  You take what you want but you don't ask
 
 You're future doesn't lie with things of the past
 
 The search for freedom will never be found
 
 As long as we stand upon this sacred ground
  
 
 The curse of the curses upon the land
 
 One day Tatanka will make a stand
 
 Take back the soul of mother nature
 
 Give back the spirit of a world endangered
 
 Tatanka comes, stand and deliver
  
 
 The souls of the brave lie on forever
 
 The tale of tears is a tale of courage
 
 Tatanka comes from across the river
  
 
 Chorus repeat
  
 
 The battles were fought and the damage was done
 
 The wars not over its just begun
 
 The debt that's owed will never be payed
 
 The promised land will never be saved
  
 
 The curse of curses fire on the land
 
 Today Tatanka has made a stand
 
 Their forefathers dreams, hopes, and vision
 
 Through children's eyes has it been forgiven
  
 
 Chorus repeat
  
 
 Le Lakota tolowan yelo
  
 
 Channi tatanka oyate ki
 
 icic' upi nahan taku un
 
 umnipi nahan unkotipi kte k'un
 
 lepa unk' upelo
 
 wasicu ki ahi nahan
 
 wicakasota pi tka
 
 tatanka tawowakan ki lena
 
 hecenanhgluhapelo
  
 
 This is a song for the Lakota
  
 
 Long time ago the buffalo
 
 nation gave themselves
 
 so we can survive and
 
 have shelter
 
 The white man came
 
 and wiped them out
 
 but we still have the spirit
 
 the power of the buffalo
  
 
 Tatanka comes, stand and deliver
 
 The souls of the brave live forever
 
 The trail of the rears is a tale of courage
 
 Tatanka comes, Tatanka comes
