Chief Kai

In the heart of an ancient civilisation

Deep in the valleys of mysticisms

Lies myths, folklore, and brave warriors.

Yes, there were always the proud warriors to learn of

who fought for the love of a land and its people

and in one such story

Chief Kai of the Patamona tribe surfaces.

He fought for his race, his village, unto death

He left a trace for all mankind to learn

of a legendary sacrifice.

When his village is constantly attacked and raided

by the Caribs,

He prayed to the Great Spirit

The Great Spirit revealed in a dream

Give up your mortal soul to enter the spirited world above

Only then shall peace reign amongst your people.

With courage, and without hesitation

He plunged down the shrouded mist of the Kaieteur Falls

Taking in his wooden canoe special offerings

He died a warrior's death deep in the misted gorge

The mighty Great Spirit was thus appeased

And the tribe of Patamona were saved.

The End
