lyrics

Lady Black Mamba
by Ryder Cooley/Dust Bowl Faeries 2015
written during an artist residency at
Blue Mountain Center

For JoAnn

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
