The last song released before the long quiet. A reckoning written plainly: what was done to the living world is going to come back round. Its SoundCloud subtitle, “Geronimo’s Revenge,” points at what the eagle in the title stands for, and the cover art — an eagle’s head resolving into Geronimo’s — makes the same argument without a word.

The song at the centre of everything on this site. Released to the day on the 38th anniversary of the shoot-out at Oglala, it is an awareness song for Leonard Peltier, and it carries the voices of two people who lived that history: John Trudell, the Santee Dakota poet and former national chairman of the American Indian Movement, and Steve Robideau. The release drew the support of the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee and of Tom Morello. It is also the reason the artist stepped out of public view for the thirteen years that followed.

The earliest song on the channel and the one that sets the template: a single voice, an acoustic guitar, and a line of argument that does not let up. Empathy set against apathy, with neither given an easy win. The full lyrics are posted on Genius.

The clearest statement of the anti-materialism running underneath the whole catalogue: consumption drawn as something with an appetite of its own, fed and praised and then handed down to the next generation. This is the extended version.

A song about the gap between what a society says about human dignity and what it actually does with it. Recorded in the same December 2012 stretch as “Wearing the Chains” and “Materialism.”
These five are the complete set of Eneas Lacy videos published to date. New material goes out through the YouTube channel.

Peltier’s own account, recorded months after his release from federal prison in February 2025. Close to fifty years inside, told by the man “Bring Him Out” was written for, twelve years before he came home. If you only watch one thing on this page, watch this.

A 1982 documentary on the Peltier case, made while the appeals were still live and the reign of terror on Pine Ridge was recent memory. It is the long-form context behind the song — the same ground Peter Matthiessen covered in print that year.
