VOIVOD
"Kluskap O'Kom"
(Denis Belanger / Voivod)

I kept running in the woods
As fast as the ancients could
Could not fight these kinds of beasts
Who live for gigantic feasts
I don't want 'em to cut my hair
My strength would fall from my head
Changing the way I speak
Until I'm becoming weak

We'll be reborn (Kluskap O'Kom!)
Behind the sun (Kluskap O'Kom!)
Just like the storm (Kluskap O'Kom!)
Will ever come (Kluskap O'Kom!)

There goes the self-esteem
In the fumes of gasoline
The sweat lodge is getting cold
The white steam stole our souls

I have died so many times
But the bear showed me the signs
And the shaman heard the crow
Telling him what I know

The spirits still hold
For us some hope
Remember the past
'Cause it never lasts
As the future goes

I breathe like you, I eat like you
I feel like you, I need like you
Water I can drink, sunshine on my skin
My land for hunting, singing

The echoes of my voice
Will fly all across the lake

You can't see me, you can't hear me
You can't hurt me, you can't kill me
I am the fastest, I am the strongest
I am the fearless, I am the forest

The echoes of my voice
Will fly all across the lake

Hear the thunder, it is me, coming back!

I have died so many times
And the river still flows and shines
And the mountain standing tall
Makes it clear, we are so small
