Macchu Picchu
Deep in the jungle, in the mountains of Peru
They sanctified a last sanctuary for their god
In a place, where always had been peace
Where never a spaniard had laid his foot upon
There they carried all that they had left
of their gold (inka-gold)
and built a city there
Pizzarro trekked up the Andes on his hunt for gold
Left behind only tears and blood
But the city so deep in the jungle, stayed beyond his reach
For he never discovered her secret
(REF:)
Macchu Picchu, Macchu Picchu
Where only silence dwells
Macchu Picchu, Macchu Picchu
For nobody knows your secret
And whoso searches out your treasure (blind greed for gold)
Is lost forever (he asked for it)
For the gold belongs to the gods of Peru
And the Inkas that were tortured, kept silent unto death
But the spaniards as well, they never returned
(They died on their way to Macchu Picchu)
They payed for their greed the ultimate price
And ran straight into their doom
(REF)
Macchu Picchu, Macchu Picchu
Where only silence dwells
Macchu Picchu, Macchu Picchu
For nobody knows your secret
And whoso searches out your treasure (blind greed for gold)
Is lost forever (he asked for it)
For the gold belongs to the gods of Peru
They said, only a maidens, pretty and pure
Could enter the city of gold
They all had to be virgins
To give themselves to the gods
And they lived there
ANd they died for their country
And only the guards and priests stayed there
But noone knows what one day had happened there
For Macchu Picchu became a city of death
Houses and temples stood idle
And whatever chased people away
Remains a mystery
Also the gold disappeared without a trace
And the Inka City has only been discovered in recent time
But she long had been waste and empty
(Who will solve your myster, Macchu Picchu? )
Only the walls remain, the same way they were once built
And it feels like flutes are still playing a heavy and sad tune
(REF:)
Macchu Picchu, Macchu Picchu
Where only silence dwells
Macchu Picchu, Macchu Picchu
For nobody knows your secret
And whoso searches out your treasure (blind greed for gold)
Is lost forever (he asked for it)
For the gold belongs to the gods of Peru
Macchu Picchu....
