Blood and Smoke
War Chronicles Unveiled: Blood, Smoke, and the Dance of Revenge
Lyrics
Pushed from the plains
Forced or driven away from open lands
Sustained by raids
Supported or sustained through repeated attacks
Perpetual war
Continuous and unending conflict
Upon the adversary
Fighting against an opponent or enemy
Iron in their word of life
Strength or determination emphasized in spoken promises
Peace in a fearful treaty
Tranquility found in a frightening agreement
Brown robe offerings
Ceremonial offerings in earth-toned garments
Apache sitting pretty
Apache tribe in a comfortable or advantageous position
To receive Christ
Seeking Christ, possibly through conversion
In a false conversion
A deceptive or insincere change of faith
Double-tongued ruse
Deceitful strategy using ambiguous language
Of the wily heathens
Cunning non-believers employing trickery
Gifts of the Padres
Offerings from Spanish missionaries
Left in the remains
Remnants or traces left behind after attacks
Framed by raids
Surrounded or affected by repeated assaults
Inciting northern rage
Provoking anger in the north
Beneath the Comanche Moon
Under the influence of the Comanche tribe's lunar symbolism
Iron in their word of death
Determination or commitment emphasized in spoken promises of death
San Sabá ablaze
San Sabá, a location, set on fire
Blood, smoke, revenge
Bloodshed, destruction, and the desire for retaliation
