Whose Cries?

Whose cries, whose cries
Cries do I hear
Upon the wind, upon the wind

Whose cries, whose cries
Cries do I hear
So mournful, so sad

‘Tis ours, ‘tis ours
Our cries you hear
Upon the wind, upon the wind

Our cries, our cries
Our cries you hear
So mournful, so sad

Mayans, Mayans
Mayans are we
Our cries you hear upon the wind
Our cries you hear so mournful and sad

Mayans, Mayans
What happened here?
Not so long ago, not so long ago

Is that your blood there on the grass?
Are those your bones there in the dirt?

Who took, who took
Took your life’s fire
And snuffed it out, snuffed it out

Who broke, who broke
Broke your Mayan heart
Too much to live, too much to live

No name, no name
Have we to give
They hate, they kill…that’s all we know

We mourn, we mourn
For all our kind
We mourn, we mourn
For all our kind
Killed without mercy, killed without care

Mayans, Mayans
Don’t you cry?
I’ll find them, I’ll find them
Mayans, Mayans
I’ll take their lights fire
And snuff it out, snuff it out
Mayans, Mayans
Won’t you take heart?
I’ll give you what you want
