about

summoning the bear spirit for protection.

lyrics

Darlene:
The good red road ignites
a few inches past my toes
This moment is all I can hold
alive

The warrior of light
who wrestles in restlessness
claims her place
in the face of
extinction

Gets things done
when the speakers kept speakin’
and the lovers kept loving and the
people made their pain public

What does it mean to be seen like this,
in our own sadness?
To be heard in our own panic?
Distressed, my body couldn't stand it
Enduring the labor pains of birthing a blank canvas,
an empty chalice, nude feet on this planet

The sky bleeds warm rain
and I’m strong enough to gain
pieces of me dismembered

Do you remember? the movement,
the motion
Crying through corrosion
Stuck rusted potions
onto metals
They saw their stupidity,
weakness in rigidity
through religions, culture and pigments
I beg your forgiveness
but life is bigger than this
Secrets of divinity
told, stories pulled
from a place a little older than your grandpa
telling you to protect the poet, the child
everything wild
in the mystical styles
Relief from excreting the bile
of this society’s strange ways
I will not put down the page
of who I am
to concede to a plan
that fans the flames of sin against self

I am not
meant to rot in this pot haze
Too high to be phased
Sink my claws in and stay
deep
Under the street
My roots cross fade
into the earth’s blood veins
then rise like a bear,
humble and prepared to share
the medicine

Chorus: Mario (Mayan Bear song)
Shutone oaye
Aya aya ayania
Shutone oaye
Aya aya ayania
Shutone oaye
Aya aya ayania
Shutone oaye
Aya aya ayania

Luis:
En las montanas pacificas
Busco un oso que tiene tranquilida
Escuridad que me tienen con una furia
Que me calienta y me lleba a mas alla
Y vien que encuentro total mente completo
Satisfecno cuando su alma yo la tengo
Aqui yo me siento como agua ardiente
Siempre caliente mentalida que te detiene.

Chorus

Luis:
Platicando con mis ansestros
Esos indijenas que siempre fueron honestos en estas batallas se arancaron
siempre el alma a qui con su furia siempre atacan
Esta mentalida indijena siga Resucitando
Evolucioando y siempre por siglos
Asi es como me siento tan distinto
Arancando las raises, Seimpre me gusta volar

Chorus

Luis:
En este continente siempre, siempre
Lo tengo en mente, todo me sorprende
Y cuando tengo que reflejar a los dialectos
Que en este planeta se llegaron a escuchar
A si es como siempre yega esta voz
De este solitario siempre buscando
Ese calor ese espiritu que me tiene
Siempre me arolla en este
Universo soy honesto
