about

This song is specifically about a confederate civil war regiment from Western NC composed of mountain men and cherokee indians who engaged in guerilla warfare. They were called the Thomas Legion. Kiko Rex, a friend of the band, wrote a few lines for this song.

lyrics

Black skies! Ignite! The powder smoke is hidden now by the menacing night.
Gray ghosts and empty boasts, the spirits inside cloud and ones without are coming for you
It's time to die as the Legion rides, bringing the damned to hell in their wake, laughter breaks
Savage war cries haunt me, you most fear what you never can see


The smoke conceals the strike best left unseen


The mountain secrets left untold to us soldiers
Forbidden knowledge snuffed out in last moments of life
I can see the hatchet falling and falling towards me
Rifle report in the wilderness.


You don't know what you seek!
Feel the life drain slowly!
You will vacate these lands!
You shall die by our hands!

Say yer prayers!

Chieftans a shoutin'
Rocking chair to the rocking grounds, oh my!
Smoke in the mountains
Put a finger to the eye up in the sky

Smoke on the mount, signal sky
On the hilltop, savage cry
