Run To The Hills
B.R.A.K.E. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just keep walking
Just keep motion
Just keep running away
I'm moving sideways
I'm moving sideways
Just keep going
Just keep motion
Just keep going away
I'm moving sideways
I'm moving sideways
It ain't me though
These posh boys on my screen they're up to something
And that stream that trickles down is thick as honey
Sticks you to your place
Work you 'till you're sick
Call in sick and you're disgraced
It's the violence of passivity
In the silence in which we waste
This is your run for the hills my love
Don't look back
Just keep moving
Just keep going
Just keep motion
Just keep running away
I'm moving sideways
I'm moving sideways
Just keep going
Just keep walking
Just keep running
Just keep going away
I'm going sideways
I'm moving sideways
This is your run for the hills
Don't look back
It's the river and the ocean meeting

LYRICS
[Intro]
White man came across the sea
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes, killed our creed
He took our game for his own need
We fought him hard, we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came too much for Cree
Oh will we ever be set free?
[Verse 1]
Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom the stab in the back
Women and children are cowards attack
[Chorus]
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
[Verse 2]
Soldier blue in the barren wastes
Hunting and killing's a game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good Injuns are tame
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old
[Chorus]
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives

Iron Maiden narrates Native American History better than our own teachers. 🇺🇸
@travisscavoni369
In some ways they are the "forefathers" to groups like Sabaton
@purestench9263
You do realize its about the same accuracy as like, the ija retelling the events of the khmer rouge. An imperialist nation attempting to bank on some event they had no way of really understanding lmfaooo but yea bruther they really got history down in a maiden song. Sincerely signed someone thats worked for natives.
