Take me on the trails
Guessing all the while
Wear these boots right down
Mile after mile
Memories of home
Led us back to here
Marching on in rain
The skies that never clear
With a face like the rocks
And skin cracked to pieces
We'll walk every mile
Till no one can reach us
We'll tear down the signs
That obscure the features
We'll walk through the smoke
Of liars and preachers
And I'll take your hand
I'll show you the places
With maps in our bones
And lines on our faces
We are who we are
There's none that can take us
Dug up from our roots
But our memories save us
And we've travelled far
You've travelled wide
Smaller footprints grow
Shadowed by our side
Memories that fade
Awoken with a sound
Wise and set in stone
Engraved and handed down
With a face like the rocks
And skin cracked to pieces
We'll walk every mile
Till no one can reach us
We'll tear down the signs
That obscure the features
We'll walk through the smoke
Of liars and preachers
And I'll take your hand
I'll show you the places
With maps in our bones
And lines on our faces
We are who we are
There's none that can take us
Dug up from our roots
But our memories save us

Marching for Peru
03:07

Trudging through the mountains
We're carrying the weight
Of all the hopes and dreams
That we'll take back to Spain
There's rumours there o' fighting
A house caught in divide
We're following the rumours
The silver will provide
We're heading south to Cusco
We're heading to the lake
We're bringing lies and smallpox
There's silver there to take
A flag on every port town
Maracaibo to Veracruz
A Spanish land we're forging
We're marching for Peru
We were less than 200
But we are doing god's work
Bringing light and promise
Out to the new world
We signed up for adventure
We signed up for the cause
We signed up for our king
To conquer foreign shores
We're heading south to Cusco
We're heading to the lake
We're bringing lies and smallpox
There's silver there to take
A flag on every port town
Maracaibo to Veracruz
A Spanish land we're forging
We're marching for Peru
We sent our man De Soto
Equipped with finest steed
To sell the king of Peru
A book that he can't read
We came with words of brotherhood
We came with words of peace
We came with horse and cannon
We came to make them bleed
We cried Santiago
And charged against our foe
We struck 2000 dead
We landed a heavy blow
Our leader was Pizarro
Our leader was our King
Our leader was our God
And the riches he can bring
We're heading south to Cusco
We're heading to the lake
We're bringing lies and smallpox
There's silver there to take
A flag on every port town
Maracaibo to Veracruz
A Spanish land we're forging
We're marching for Peru
We're heading south to Cusco
We're heading to the lake
We're bringing lies and smallpox
There's silver there to take
A flag on every port town
Maracaibo to Veracruz
A Spanish land we're forging
We're marching for Peru
