  • Killing Joke Killing Joke - Tiahuanaco Lyrics

           

    I was a tourist in the Andes
    On my way to Tiahuanaco
    Where the balance of a weeping god
    Faced east to the rising sun

    But I looked out the window
    And all I could see
    Was the face of a girl
    She was looking at me

    She was begging for food
    Then I knew I had found
    The weeping god
    In the face of a child

    As she gestures with her fingers
    Her little brother followed suit
    And all I did was take my camera
    So the image never fades away

    I no longer saw the great gate of the sun
    Nor the dawn of time when our race had begun
    Just black eyes like starving dogs looking at me
    A weeping god was all I'd ever see

    And as I sat in contemplation beyond all charity
    Losing the magic and meaning of living
    (the earth and the stars these things are mine)
    And when they've drained the earth of all resources
    We'll face the music still
    For you and I shall be striking memories
    In the thoughts of our children's children

    I had arrived at my destination
    At the gate of the rising sun
    We shall again regain in sunset that balance
    That we left undone

    I stared at the shacks and the shanty town mess
    I couldn't help but to think of the West
    The balance was lost and my reason went wild
    As the weeping god came alive in the child

    I began to weep
    And I remember the violation
    Determination came,
    Determination, Yeah!
