I looked below me where the earth was silent in a sick green light, and saw the hills look up afraid and the grasses on the hills and all the animals; and everywhere about me were the cries of frightened birds and sounds of fleeing wings. I was the chief of all the heavens riding there, and when I looked behind me, all the twelve black horses reared and plunged and thundered and their manes and tails were whirling hail and their nostrils snorted lightning. And when I looked below again, I saw the slant hail falling and the long, sharp rain, and where we passed, the trees bowed low and all the hills were dim. -Black Elk Released 07 September 2012 Written, Recorded, Mixed and Mastered at Ron's Wrecker Service MMXII Cover art by Matthew Rochon User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
