Killing Joke - Tiahuanaco Lyrics
I was a tourist in the AndesOn my way to TiahuanacoWhere the balance of a weeping godFaced east to the rising sunBut I looked out the windowAnd all I could seeWas the face of a girlShe was looking at meShe was begging for foodThen I knew I had foundThe weeping godIn the face of a childAs she gestures with her fingersHer little brother followed suitAnd all I did was take my cameraSo the image never fades awayI no longer saw the great gate of the sunNor the dawn of time when our race had begunJust black eyes like starving dogs looking at meA weeping god was all I'd ever seeAnd as I sat in contemplation beyond all charityLosing the magic and meaning of living(the earth and the stars these things are mine)And when they've drained the earth of all resourcesWe'll face the music stillFor you and I shall be striking memoriesIn the thoughts of our children's childrenI had arrived at my destinationAt the gate of the rising sunWe shall again regain in sunset that balanceThat we left undoneI stared at the shacks and the shanty town messI couldn't help but to think of the WestThe balance was lost and my reason went wildAs the weeping god came alive in the childI began to weepAnd I remember the violationDetermination came,Determination, Yeah!
