"Creek Mary's Blood" is the fifth song on the album Once by the symphonic metal band Nightwish which was released in 2004. The song differs from their other work because John Two-Hawks, a Native American from the Lakota tribe, performed on this single. He both reads a poem written in his native language, Sioux, and plays the flute. A picture of the Native American in question is given in the booklet that comes with the Once album. The song appears also on the Kuolema tekee taiteilijan single, but in an instrumental orchestral edit. The song was named after and most likely inspired by a novel of the same name by the American novelist and historian Dee Brown (novelist).
