Oh, god of earth and altar, bow down and hear our cry
Our earthly rulers falter, our people drift and die
The walls of gold entomb us, the swords of scorn divide
Take not thy thunder from us, take away our pride
ย
Just a babe in a black abyss, no reason for a place like this
The walls are cold, souls cry out in pain
An easy way for the blind to go
A clever path for the fools who know
The secret of the hangman
The smile on his lips
The light of the blind, you'll see
The venom tears my spine
The eyes of the Nile are opening, you'll see
Hola Mexico
She came to me with a serpent's kiss
The eye of the sun rose on her lips
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry
So we lay in a black embrace
And the seed is sown in a holy place
And I watched and I waited for the dawn
The light of the blind, you'll see
The venom tears my spine
The eyes of the Nile are opening, you'll see
ย
Bind all of us together, ablaze with hope and free
No storm or heavy weather will rock the boat, you'll see
The time has come to close your eyes
Still the wind and rain
For the one who will be king
The watcher in the ring
It is you
It is you
