Jaguar
In the emerald cathedralIn the valley of cloudsIn the span of the branchesTwo eyes keep the watchWhere the hummingbird dancesAnd the snake hesitatesWith the calm of commandThe jaguar waitsThe chain saw is whining the bulldozer roarsMonkeys are screeching in flightThe spires of the Arawak cut down at one blowWhere will the jaguar goWhere will the jaguar goUnder the hammer of hungerOn the anvil of fearThe poor of Sao PaoloStream to the frontierWith the promise of farmlandHonest work honest payTill the rains unrelentingSweep the topsoil awayThe captains of cattle take the land cheapNew York and Osaka crave beefLetras de cancionesHooves crush the dirt into dust belowWhere will the jaguar goWhere will the jaguar goWhen the circle is brokenWhen the crystal is crackedWhen the thread of creation is tornWe slip through the veil into terrors unknownWhere will the jaguar goIn the canyons of commerceIn convoys of lightThe armies of lonelinessDrive into the nightTrading plastic for plasticMaking fashion of trashWe are dreaming of loveAs love turns to ashThe fires of Prometheus flare to the skyThe seas of the prophets boil dryThis gutted globe was a garden I'm toldWhere will the jaguar goWhere will the jaguar goWhere will the jaguar go
