AMERICAN ISIS (Rolling piano with no meter) Gm/A If you see her Dº You can ask her Eb6 She might answer, D She might not Gm But if you ask her Cm About the Sand Creek Massacre Gm She will answer D Gm American Isis, forget me not. Gm/A History is sometimes written Dº with the butt of a gun Eb6 Babies for the buzzards D Under a Colorado sun. Gm Cries of mercy murdered Cm in 1864 Gm Bringing the American Isis D Gm To its’ patriotic chore Eb The Past is always besides us Bb One only has to look D Find the side that best describes Gm Your soul according to the Book Cm The Feather and the Eagle Gm The children of doom A The Ink on the Treaty Eb D was just Dirt on the Broom. Gm/A Land of the Free Dº and Home of the Brave Eb6 Until the Stars & Strips D Put them in a shallow grave Gm When an infant is your enemy Cm You will rot without decay Gm D Gm Proud to be righteous, and the devil will come to play. Eb The Past is always besides us Bb One only has to look D Find the side that best describes Gm Your soul according to the Book Cm The Feather and the Eagle Gm The children of doom A The Cheyenne Arapaho Eb D Were just Dirt on the Broom. Gm/A When you find her Dº You might remind her Eb6 How your kindness D Sets you apart Gm She will take you Cm And replace you Gm With the blood-soaked Earth, D American Isis Gm And a Bible verse. Repeat Break #1, install last two lines… A. Eb D ”All Honor and Glory is just Dirt on the Broom.” -J. Olschner (3/22/2024)

lyrics

Look to the One You’re With (for Jessica Lilley) G When the world seems to have forgotten C G All you were promised to be. G When the choices that you made with Hope D Are floating on a stormy sea. G When you need a little direction C Instead of the Cosmic drift G D C G Look with faith & kindness to the one you’re with. C Not the one you sleep besides G Not your friends at work C Not the member of your family D Who manages your self-worth Em/Bm Look to the one flying to the Stars C Inside your own beautiful heart G D Be that friend standing against the wind C G Blowing your Life apart. When you wake up entangled With all your broken dreams And the flowers laid at your feet Are turning into stinky weeds When your best becomes suspicious And the worst, at best, mysterious Look with faith & kindness to the one you’re with. Break #2: When you need to be courageous Even when your fear seems ageless And the Book of Life which you’ve read at least twice Is filled with empty pages Manifest a new inspiration Write to yourself a golden invitation Look with faith & kindness to the one you’re with. Break #3: -J. Olschner (10/14/2023)

about

This album was born from a 'random' review-discovery of the incident around the same time of the Isralie-Hamas war. Hamas and ISIS might be different groups but they operate in the same way that the American Army operated in the Indian wars. This album is a "least we forget" statement.
