I am no man/
My name is unimportant/
My mysteries are many in the paths that I orbit/
My histories, enormous/
Long before the era of the Romans/
I built monuments up like Stonehenge/
But with the greatest accuracy that skill hones/
I left my place to wander earth and to build thrones/
And conquer tribes along the altiplano hill zones/
Crushing enemy bones with strength of a millstone/
..Inside the face of your oppression I would give life/
And taught the wise among my people how to live right/
You saw my shadows in the midnight, inside the light of the moon/
That fell along the valleys of a ridge site/
I speak with many tongues/
I carried the faint traces of Babel's imagery/
That still lives on/
When I built the mighty towers of stone to be my home/
So my name would never be separated from what I own/
Long before the viruses of the wicked were in my bones/
I constucted palaces on a mountain covered in gold/

Chorus
No, no, no no, no more/
Skeletons danced at night in Chimor/
No, no, no no, no mas/
Skeletons dance tonight in Lima/
But the living don't remember the dead, and everything we thought was important is buried instead.


The truth is searing/
My children made tremendous advances within the practice of genomic engineering/
Developed many species of corn from one seed/
And created almost all of the crops that people eat/
.Potatoes and tomatoes to squash and kindey beans/
Yes, the earth has been blessed by the wisdom my people breathed/
And the agricultural engineering that we conceived/
We converted barren mountains to farmable terracing/
...And made war against the Chimor kings/
Amassing territory, spreading our socialistic regimes/
Of an economic, vertically integrated machine/
There were no hungry left in the cities that we redeemed/
...But the shadow grows/
Eventually the descendants of those I left alone would find our new home/
In 1492, they found the Caribbean/
..Changing the course of the millenium/
From building our cities to killing them/
The epidemics were spread amongst my lands/
The collapse of great civilizations and many clans/

(Chorus)

Soon an era of war was waged upon me/
The pale skins invading the land of Haudenausaunee/
Disease moving quicker than guns/
Even when my sons fought with great ability the disease won/
I tried to quench fear/
...But once the epidemics came to my cities, the populations of nations would disappear/
And the survivors were left to be ravished 500 years/
They exported most of my gold, stolen from every pier/
...And then imported Africans to replace/
The human lives that were destroyed, molding a mixed race/
So a cosmopolitan population was being formed/
..The histories of many new nations were being born/
...I witnessed the revolutions of Bolivar/
End of slavery and the foundation of fifty stars/
Dirty Wars started by Dictators that took office/
To the narcotic cop helicopters in the Chiapas/
I am América, the mother of many graves/
The living culmination of Lords and many Slaves.

(Chorus)
