CEO of the Aztec Empire,
a successful company.
Bloody human sacrifices
in its benefits entwined.
From the top of the pyramid,
he saw he had everything.
Power, parties, wealth and fights
like sport activities.

But what are those strange and large
ships arriving fast by sea?
Welcome, welcome! Says the Chief
with tense and committed glee.
They are dirty, smelly skin whites.
Shining armor on their cheats.
Thirst for gold I think they bring.
They're not tourists greeting me.

I know that ours, there,
imposed the cross and the sword.

But are the children guilty of
fathers´ ́sins and their mistakes?
Lord, now don't punish our ears
and our hearts. Please no more!
Stop this plague!
It really causes shame!

They believed that the invaders
were just sent from the gods.
From boss of the neighborhood
to captive on his own throne.
Mirror and trinket exchanging,
exotic diseases too.
Dying a curse to take cold revenge:
Foolishness will eat you!

Maybe today we should
endure without complaining.
The shame we haven't had
for centuries appearing.

When autotune makes up
for the obvious lack of talent and art.
It falls apart!
Old curse is coming fast!

It has been five hundred years
and the King's revenge is here.
Vulgar and nauseous lyrics abound,
blessed by the media.
Dark age for culture and music.
Every time I hear those sounds,
that ridiculous people throwing them up.
A blow for my soul!
