Tenskwatawa was a Native American holy man and the brother of the more well-known military leader Tecumseh. Tenskwatwa urged the rejection of acculturation to the white/European way of life and a return to traditional Native cultural values.
[Verse 1]
Close to the citadel
She raises her lantern
Close to the citadel
She raises her lacquered hooves
The long road division
Or lack of another route
These then were all too good vantage lost
[Chorus]
And I grow suspect as soon as your friendliness rises
'Cause one man alone
Stands a chance, not a second chance
[Verse 2]
Close to the citadel
Will hasten to a firm
For this congress
We have written doubly against
[Chorus]
And we'll grow suspect as soon as their friendliness rises
And I alone
Stand a chance, not a second chance
Tenskwatawa was written by Jason Molina.
