[Dm]Nor the sadness [Am]trapped on the tongue of [E]Malinche
[Dm]Quetzalcoatl [Am]feathers strewn out over the [E]altar
[Dm]Blood running down the [Am]pyramid steps in the [E]morning
[Dm]Codices lost to a [Am]language that's been [E]broken
[Dm]There's this growing [Am]sense of impending [E]anger[E7] that never disappears
Am-E-Am-E (like Intro)
Spanish part
[Am]Ninguna [E]entrada , [Am]queda en el [E]puerto
