Attack On The Outpost
The horrors I have seen when an Apache scalped my mate
and wore his scull cap like a gruesome hat
The soldiers were fighting to defend this outpost
The Indians were too numerous and our forces succumbed
Arrows soaring through the air like rain
There would be no rainbow after this storm
This ramshackle structure was our last hope
We prayed it held up against the onslaught
Then what we least expected came
A solicitation of peace was offered
It was too early for a celebration we warned
But their communication and ruse was a success
They lured out our men with promises of hope
Put down our rifles and sabers they barked
Our men were too desperate to see the truth
When we complied, we were slaughtered like sheep
