Maria

The sun ablaze as Maria's foot

Touches the surface of sand

On northern land

As human contraband

Some Rico from Jalisco

Passed her name to the boss

She stuffed ten to a trucked

She clutches her cross

Here come the exhaust

And it rips through her lungs

Shes off fast to the pasture

Like cattle shell cross

Degree 106

Sweat and vomit are thrown

And she prays and suffocates

Upon the memories of home

Of yanqui guns for blood debts on the loans

Of smoldering fields, rape, rubble and bones

Of graves hidden trapped up in visions of war

Of nothing, no one, nobody, no more

These are her mountains and skies and she radiates

And through historys rivers of blood she regenerates

And like the sun disappears only to reappear

She's eternally here

Her time is near

Never conquered but here

To tear away at the mask

And now she got a quota

The needle and thread crucifixion

Sold and shipped across the new line

Of Mason Dixon

Ripping through Denim

The point an inch from her vein

The foreman approach

His steps now pound in her brain

His presence it terrifies

And eclipses her days

No minutes to rest

No moments to pray

And with a whisper

He whips her

Her soul changed to his will

My job is to kill if you forget to take your pill

Her arm jerks the sisters gather round her and scream

As if in a dream, eyes on the crimson stream

Numb as her wrists spit shots of blood to the floor

I am nothing, no one, nobody, no more

These are her mountains and skies and she radiates

And through historys rivers of blood she regenerates

And like the sun disappears only to reappear

Maria she's eternally here

Her time is near

Never conquered but here

To tear away at the mask

To tear away at the mask

To tear away at the mask

No moment to rest

No moment to pray

No moments to rest

No moments to pray

No moments to rest

...

No moment to pray

To tear away at the mask

To tear away at the mask

To tear away at the mask

To tear away at the mask
