The Black Elk Lyrics

Swaddled in loyalty
Filled with a loving faith
I recognize my worth as a father
Now I am running
Run into the light

Sins of the flesh descend, bleed down the family tree
A curse from father into son, forever ‘til it's all undone someday

Dive in the deep to recover what was lost, and redeem what was damned

While I am not perfect, I have surpassed my dad
Perhaps he did prevail in his duty to make his son better than himself

Blood and brine
Streaming strain
Heave and pull
Cry aloud
Father dear, I am here

Dive in the deep to recover father's soul from the maw of the whale
