Magellan - Estadium Nacional Lyrics
These are my last words, their treasonous handsHave us all under siege, now do you understand?Gossens ministers - all at handWill take up final stationsAs the coup hunts a single manNo offer of exile did he take in his last trial...Covert action - santiagoThe u.s. denies it but the president knowsBroken fathers, strut of the guardSee cruel opportunists where the losers die hardSeeking refuge from this land of fire.Allende supporters are gatheredEstadium nacionalThey disappear, ask them how the tortured shallDispatch a message to loved ones nowTheir photographs worn by survivorsEstadium nacionalA swede is the only trace of redeemed graceAs edelstam prepares a placeOf asylum but without sanction.Fleeing persecution - visas feigning newIdentitiesSo they wait there at the embassies...Labor takes a fall (impending ascension)The white house seems appalled at the disgraceThey toast a secret cheer in executive sessionAnd keep it going strong (wear a gameface)Hunter hawker dive (impending ascension)Superiors decide its a rat raceIts all about control (impending ascension)See nixon take a hold from his powerful place.How much terror for five thousand?How many others suffer on the outside of this stadium?Is there no end?These are my last words-treasonous handsHave us all under siege, now do you understand?Hear my last broadcast-mic in handWorkers rise up-bear arms-the coup rapes its own homelandHold on th your memories (disappeared families)What justice befalls our enemies?Allende supporters are gathered-estadium nacionalThey disappear, ask them how the tortured shallDispatch a message to loved ones nowTheir photographs worn by survivors-estadium nacionalWe pray just to turn the page upon this stageOf human suffering-a world enragedNow there must be a new resistance!Cardinal commission, extraordinary will/solidarity no wish to killAm I dreaming? how can all of this be real? will I wake to seeThese horrors still?
