Crisis looms in murderous terror
Strafing hearts of Chile's people
Decay of national identity
Tearing apart the Socialist ideal
The CIA, the Dark Order of the United States
Government secretly spreads its wings of dissent
To raze Allende's Socialist Government!
Methodically concealed, this vile hypocrisy
Reiterate your eyes as democracy dies!
Armed forces united for the k**
Hunting Communist blood to spill
Warplanes swarm above Santiago
Infantry executes urban occupation
The Junta of four generals, the dark tyrants of
Military command deliver their
Ultimatum to the constitutional president!
Illegally conceived, this vile hypocrisy
Reiterate your mind to the nations sovereign demise
Militarily instigated, this vile hypocrisy
Reveal to your eyes this despotic rise
Government under siege in "La Moneda"
Salvador Allende, with his 40 civil guards
Defending the dying democracy, issues
His final historic oration of defiance
"They have the strength, they can subjugate us
But they can't stop social means with crime or strength"
"History is ours, and it's made by the people"
"I'll repay the people's loyalty with my life"
"Hawker hunters' fire missile salvos
Bombarding the walls of "La Moneda"
Explosive waves of fire rip through,
Shattering windows, smashing doors, k**ing lives
The defenders hold out for three hours as they battle their final stand for democracy!
Salvador Allende is shot to d**h!
Homicidally executed military brutality,
Reiterate your eyes to despotic ascendancy,
Bare witness and see the murdered democracy
In the ruins, and the blood, of the bullet ridden dead president!
