tyrants meet the undertow, [Bb] lightning over Mexico.

They nailed us from the start, they covered our faces,
they silenced our [D] words, they killed our hope.
They chased us with a gun, they shot us with bullets,
they entered with bullets in the scales.
We are the faceless, the nameless, the nobody, the nothing.
We are the [Dm] murdered, each one is a member of the [D] false democracy.
We are not in your museums, and our bodies don't fit in your media.
We are the fourth year of the Camarilla, the sumaros,
without rights, without peace, without [Bb] money, without a roof.
We are [D] thousands, thousands [G] and thousands of [Dm] people,
you think you killed us, but we didn't [D] kill you.
We are the seeds, the blood of the dead, of the [Bb] poor,
of the poor, of the sick, of the old, of the [Gm] raised.
We are the lightning.
