Band, The ~ Sacrifice


You know we have a million stories to tell I'm just one of a million or more stories that could be told Chorus: Sacrifice your freedom Sacrifice your prayer Take away your language Cut off all your hair Sacrifice the loved ones Who always stood by me Stranded in the wasteland Set my spirit free My name is leonard peltier I am a lakota and anishnabe And i am living in the united states penitentiary Which is the swiftest growing Indian reservations in the country I have been in prison since 1976 For an incident that took place on the oglala-lakota nation There was a shoot-out between members of the american indian movement And the fbi and the local sheriffs state troopers Two agents were killed and one indian was murdered Three of us were charged with the deaths of the fbi agents My co-defendants were found not-guilty by reasons of self-defense My case was separated and i was found guilty before a jury of non-indian People The prosecutor stated that they did not know who killed their agents Nor did he know what participation leonard peltier may have played in it But someone has to pay for the crime There's a lot of nights that i lay in my cell And i can't understand why this hell this hell and this terror That i have been going through for twenty-one years hasn't ended Chorus But yet i know in my heart that someone has to pay sacrifice To make things better for our people The sacrifice i have made when i really sit down to think about it Is nothing compared to what our people a couple hundred years ago Or fifty years ago or twenty-five years ago have made Some gave their lives Some had to stand there and watch their children die in their arms So the sacrifice i have made is nothing compared to those I've gone too far now to start backing down I don't give up Not 'til my people are free will i give up And if i have to sacrifice some more Then i sacrifice some more more free lyrics

You know we have a million stories to tell
I'm just one of a million or more stories that could be told

Chorus:
Sacrifice your freedom
Sacrifice your prayer
Take away your language
Cut off all your hair
Sacrifice the loved ones
Who always stood by me
Stranded in the wasteland
Set my spirit free

My name is leonard peltier
I am a lakota and anishnabe
And i am living in the united states penitentiary
Which is the swiftest growing
Indian reservations in the country

I have been in prison since 1976
For an incident that took place on the oglala-lakota nation
There was a shoot-out between members of the american indian movement
And the fbi and the local sheriffs state troopers
Two agents were killed and one indian was murdered

Three of us were charged with the deaths of the fbi agents
My co-defendants were found not-guilty by reasons of self-defense
My case was separated and i was found guilty before a jury of non-indian
People
The prosecutor stated that they did not know who killed their agents
Nor did he know what participation leonard peltier may have played in it
But someone has to pay for the crime

There's a lot of nights that i lay in my cell
And i can't understand why this hell this hell and this terror
That i have been going through for twenty-one years hasn't ended

Chorus

But yet i know in my heart that someone has to pay sacrifice
To make things better for our people
The sacrifice i have made when i really sit down to think about it
Is nothing compared to what our people a couple hundred years ago
Or fifty years ago or twenty-five years ago have made
Some gave their lives
Some had to stand there and watch their children die in their arms
So the sacrifice i have made is nothing compared to those

I've gone too far now to start backing down
I don't give up
Not 'til my people are free will i give up
And if i have to sacrifice some more
Then i sacrifice some more

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
