A song about the endangered black rhinos and the Black Mambas, and organization of women who are protecting them

lyrics

lyrics by Ryder Cooley (written during an artist residency at
Blue Mountain Center)

Lady Black Mamba watches the land
saves bicornis from the greed of humans
Dire dire vanishing wild
ungulate creatures with horns so desired

More prized than gold or cocaine
drugs we call medicine, mortal remains
Oh Black Rhino, ten million years old
vanishing wild, pink horns you’ll be saved

Oh mighty rhino lover of leaves
one thousand pounds or more, majestic herbivore
Oh mighty rhino, searching for land
where did your world go, what does your future hold

Lady Black Mamba, by the light of the moon
watches bicornis nocturnal rescue
Through the night, when the poachers loom
Black Mamba watches by the light of the moon

Vigil vigil we will find you
in the night we are with you
in the fight, we will join you

Oh mighty rhino, searching for land
where did your world go, what does your future hold

Lady Black Mamba, by the light of the moon
watches bicornis nocturnal rescue

Through the night, when the poachers loom
Black Mamba watches by the light of the moon

Vigil vigil we will find you
in the night we are with you
in the fight, we will join you
