"Seven Sisters" lyrics

Seven sisters on the ridge
Feathers in their hair
Seven sisters on the run
From a grizzly bear
Said the eldest to her kin
"I see the devil's eyes
In the beast that's closing in
And the devil spares no life"

Devil, devil on my heels, hell ain't far behind
Heaven, Heaven, come on down and save our souls from fire
Seven prayers are calling out in their final hour
Seven sisters never came down from up on Devils Tower

Said the youngest, "Follow me
I know a place to hide
There's holy ground beyond those trees
Where I've seen angels fly"
Seven sisters reached the rock
The rock began to rise
But that devil bear, he laughed at God
'Cause claws are made to climb

Devil, devil on my heels, hell ain't far behind
Heaven, Heaven, come on down and save our souls from fire
Seven prayers are calling out in their final hour
Seven sisters never came down from up on Devils Tower

The bear climbed 'til he reached the top
But to his great surprise
The sister's were not on the rock
And that's where that bear did die
To this day, up on that ridge
You'll see the evil scars
Where God let seven sisters live
Forever in the stars

Devil, devil on my heels, hell ain't far behind
Heaven, Heaven, come on down and save our souls from fire
Seven prayers are calling out in their final hour
Seven sisters never came down from up on Devils Tower
