about

Peace The arrow is a literal representation of the bow and arrow weapon, used to acquire food for one's tribe. In a more metaphorical sense, the arrow represents protection and defence. A broken arrow symbolises peace among different tribes. Native American Symbols

his song is dedicated to the native American people. At the age of 3 I moved with my hippie mother from suburban New Jersey to Covelo California, to a small hippie commune there, which was a newly formed ”garden project” of the renowned horticulturalist Alan Chadwick. Covelo, also known as ”The Round Valley” is situated in the northern part of California and had a special purpose. It was a Native American Indian reservation. This reservation was established in the early 1850’s and populated by at least 8 different tribes. The Yuki tribe was indigenous to the area, the other tribes were forced to the location by what were called ”drives” where Native people were literally rounded up, driven like cattle and corralled on the reservation. Despite popular belief that these tribes thrived together because of all having a common background of being Native Americans, from my recollection this wasn’t the case even 100 years after the reservation was created. With 8 tribes speaking different languages and having different beliefs , each group was proud and held their tribes' traditions as conviction. As a child I remember gunshots fired on the weekends as the different factions quarrelled, and the destitute trailer parks of a once free and proud people.It wasn’t a picture of the fierce warrior people portrayed on TV and films. This left an imprint on me for the rest of my life. At age 9 or 10 we moved to Eureka California. I was an outsider who had moved around a bit already and never grew roots or was able to hold friendships very long. In high school it didn’t get much better. I held myself to my small group of outsiders who discovered drugs and heavy metal. I could always associate myself with the plight of the Native people being ”driven” from place to place and being one of the unwanted. I also became very interested in the original Native cultures from a far. Recently I met someone who I consider a good friend of mine, a man named Bobby Steele.
Bobby runs a radio station named ”Steele Savage Radio” and is a proud member of the Navajo Nation. Bobby is also a driving force behind the Rez Metal scene and avid music supporter in general. We have discussed many times the current Native American oppression and the reality of what is still happening in 2019 to the Native people. This awoke my suppressed anxiety hidden in some dark corner of my soul, Reminding me of my childhood, being one of the unworthy, the unwanted being bullied and harassed for not fitting in, awakening anger and inspiring my writing of ”A Blood Red Sky”. In short this song is dedicated to all Native people throughout the Americas and the world. Rise above and conquer!

lyrics

Lyrics by Tim Scott
Marched to the desert and left to die. Forgotten people have survived. Trapped like sheep in white man’s lies The broken arrow is denied
Uprise A Blood Red Sky War Cry Blood Red Sky War Cry Under a blood red sky
You call us savages, take our land The last clan of the free man By the mountains and the wind Let the savagery begin!
War Cry A Blood Red Sky Uprise Blood Red Sky
