about

South American natives meet their fate

lyrics

CAUDILLO Jan 2011

It was out of the dawn light they sailed
Clutching sticks of fire they came
From Isabella’s lands
With words from the book of their good
On the beach at Cartagena we stood
And kissed their hands
And the night when the angels they came and they took us away
And the wax promises that they made to us on that day
Hooked on the lines
And the stories and rhymes
We were told

We had Caudillo
We had Caudillo
We had Caudillo
We had the sun

In the barrios, on the plains
In the temples grand and the jails
Lies heritage and hope
Confront this immaculate life
And the pagan he refuses to die
Or be controlled
As the Nazca lines in the hills have shown us
The mysteries of our time unfolds
Righteous now in their might
They own us

We have Caudillo (X3)
We have the sun

Now they have come for your sons and your daughters
The future is ours we are told in this dream
Darkened to black are the Amazon waters
They slash and they burn in the forests of green
But this day that you bring with your son
The white man
We lock away deep inside
Kukulkan
Into the light of this frightening new life
We’ve been shown

We have Caudillo
