My dad has recently passed away and we shared a common music interest, and this was the one he really REALLY wanted to show me. So now I made this the song that I will remember my dad with!
The Indians renigged on their deals just as often as our wretched government. Where do you think the words "indian giver" come from? You just don't hear both sides anymore because of political correctness.
Big R that's not where the term "indian giver" came from. It's not because we gave them stuff and took it back it's because they gave us stuff and took it back
Good nigga. I'm native American by the way but we were hunted down nd killed . Being a slave nd getting rights before us. Good for you. Keep on rocking!!!
My great grandparents were forced out of there homes, and forced to learn English and beaten when the didnt. It truly is atrocious what our ancestors had to live through.
I'm a Chilean traveling Southamerica. Now I'm in Colombia. I visited kogui indigenous communities in the mountains. They are descendents from Tayrona culture. When European conquerors arrived, Survivors run to the hills and changed its name to Kogui. This song suits so well!!
As a child when I barely spoke English I had no idea what this song was all about other than that its rythm gave me energetic thrills. But these texts are as sad as they are an important message. The lyrics are very well done to say the least.

I remember the opening riff being in the game SSX on Tour, and now that I'm older I appreciate the meaning of the full song, especially since I'm indigenous.
im listening to this as covid-19 starts taking effect in the u.s.a. in early stages: March 17, 2020. I'm listening to it multiple times as i'm packing my car with beans, rice, and a carload of supplies then taking them to my "stronghold." My stronghold is a mountain cabin with the closest neighboring cabin miles away and the nearest town about 30 miles away near Duchesne, Utah. Listenung makes me feel like I'm doing the smart thing.

When I was a child my brother was really into Iron Maiden (he still is) and now I remembered this song and I'm so happy and furiously shaking my head :D
Oh! We don't want to be called Indians...we're not from India...We ARE Native Americans, the indigenous people of our country...and we are the best form of " homeland security" to date in this continent.
this song brings me a lot of memories... I remember when I had to expose a work about Iron Maiden in front of the class... I was soooo proud at that moment! I love this band!!!
The white man came Across the sea He brought us pain And misery He killed our tribes He killed our creed He took our game For his own need We fought him hard We fought him well Out on the plains We gave him, Hell. But many came Too much for Cree Or will we ever Be set free ?
As a white man myself, I will not apologize for my ancestors coming to America. But I do have massive respect toward the Native Americans. This was their land originally. I always said if any ethnicity has a right to complain about America, a legit right, it’s the Native Americans. They fought tooth and nail against us, and that I respect.
God forgive this country for the genocide of the native peoples of this land and their cultures. God rest the souls of the innocent victims, on both sides.

I can picture the tribes gathering together to fight a common enemy the settlers, gathering up on the hills with horses spears bow n arrows charging down the hill into enemy guns and cannons breaking thru enemy lines slowing falling to enemies hands due to their guns but a fight to the end for their children wives elders and futures at stake
Something that it seems a lot of people who listen to this song don't realize is that this song isn't just about the whites killing the Natives. At the first verse up until the first chorus, its all coming from the Native's views. A lot of Native tribes were quite hostile, and would sometimes kill whites, just as the whites had done to them or other tribes. It lead to mutual distrust of both races.
ya but we were nice at first, by the time we learned their intentions, it waz too late. All we had left waz BLOOD SHED. A kool song though and ya yer right
And with good reason! The whites were invading these peoples ancestral homes, taking them for their own, and killing the natives in droves. Of course they fought back.
+locomotivebrain You don't hear that? "The white man came across the sea, He brought us pain and misery. He killed our tribe, he killed our creed, He took our game for his own need. We fought him hard, we fought him well. Out on the plains, we gave him Hell. But many came to much for Cree, Oh will we ever be set free?" How do you interpret this verse? I'm quite interested to hear your views.
I understand that. Sometimes though, tribes would just attack for little to no reason, not out of self defense. Both whites and Native Americans treated each other awfully. It was mutual. Thats why it annoys me when people treat the whites in the situation like demons, and the Native Americans as saints.
maybe because the lyrics change too slow and its dificult to no english speakers follow the parragraphs. This is my case but I´ll never push dislike on a maiden song.
Some people are racist and dont like the first part of the song. They dont like feeling weak so they try keep them under by degrading them and judging them for every small thing they do.

I learned more from these guys about history than any teacher ever could. Do you think they knew what they were doing making the music feel like you are riding a horse super fast?
This is a great documentation of a significant time in North American history....based on facts that are well documented....awesome song....teaches us that we can avoid this from ever happening again if we don't sweep it under the rug, so-to-speak...
I'm well.. heavily mixed on my dads side, but my mom is 75% cherokee and 24% Sicilian. I take more Cherokee Indian pride than any of the others honestly.

Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom the stab in the back
Women and children are cowards, attack
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Soldier blue in the barren wastes
Hunting and killing's a game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good Indians are tame
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
the trix commercial reminded me of this song and as the rabit screams im like ruuunnn tooo the hills haha
As a half Native-American, I feel empowered listening to this.
the impact of the lyrics.. it is a political song.. about a subject no one wants to hear about ;)
I like this guy already
Quick! Get the popcorn! I can tell that this is going to be good!
Nah ah, you're full of shit. Okay so I don't really think that but these guys seemed so excited. I had to give em something.
BULLSHIT OP! I CALL BULLSHIT! YAAAAAH! **flings poo from her tree-top nest**
There. Now you got something worth seeing. xD
Blode Kont Well, people guilt other people when talking about this subject.
Iron maiden 4 ever
Amazing.
I learned more from these guys about history than any teacher ever could. Do you think they knew what they were doing making the music feel like you are riding a horse super fast?
Iron Maiden guitar solos are the best outside Rush
Yessir
I never realized this is so politically charged and from a Native American perspective. I only paid attention to the chorus.
I'm only 12 and i love, love Iron Maiden ❤️😍
This is a great documentation of a significant time in North American history....based on facts that are well documented....awesome song....teaches us that we can avoid this from ever happening again if we don't sweep it under the rug, so-to-speak...
I'm Cherokee Indian lmao even though they stole our land I still find this funny! :-D
Spirit Horse of the Cherokee by Manowar brought me here lol both epic songs
I'm well.. heavily mixed on my dads side, but my mom is 75% cherokee and 24% Sicilian. I take more Cherokee Indian pride than any of the others honestly.
Zachary Patton You dirty savage.
dewhicular lol I find it funny how people still think that saying racial slurs will hurt someone elses feelings.
What are you like 3% Cherokee?
i remember playing gta: lost and damned and just drive my bike all the way across town rocking this thinking one day i'll do the same
Iron maiden is the best metal band of all time
I love Iron Maiden and Judas Priest and metal in general.. I love it all so much I want to cry
Kick ass Song! Music is brilliant. The lyrics a genius.
i played this in rdr2 when going after odriscals in missiona and when they runaway i play the run to the hills part
My teacher uses songs to teach so he showed us this song for the Battle of Little BigHorn
Before knowing Iron maiden I only listened to hip hop.
Now I'm more on metal.🤘
This kid, Jace I babysit LOVES at his song, so I thought I’d listen to it with him like a good babysitter would! :)
