Lyrics
The Raid
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They were not after the money, they were not after alcohol
They were after guns and young children to raise as their own
The war had made it necessary to take child captives
The rest would be slaughtered
That is how Miguel O'Brien became a Yavapai-Apache warrior
He was five years old
