Lempira (Or, the Lencan Crusade) Lyrics by Cime (USA)
The Cime Interdisciplinary Music Ensemble
2024
[Verse 1] The age is electric The musk of renewed hope persists The overture gives way to a fugue unchallenged and perfectly symmetrical by design Everything after all is in its right place, the candle-lit composition of five centuries of political architects [Verse 2] We stand in amazement at the spectacle Today is the day we witness the miracle of rebirth, thе return of the unjustly exеcuted hero Lempira, leader of the Lenca Indians, who so valiantly defended his land from Spanish intrusion The story goes that he was ambushed under false pretenses after the Spanish lured him under the guise of negotiating for peace Some revisionists say that wasn't what happened but I won't listen I know it was He emerges from the awful machine Dead frog and guava fills the air It's intoxicating [Verse 3] The whole room harmoniously shrieks their apoplectic apologies He wants to go to Russia Perfect His haplogroup shows he’s of Russian blood, supposedly native We all nod It's the best way to atone for our sins But a chieftain without soldiers is an empty and hollow man They round up hundreds of illegal aliens from the border prisons and conscript them into a provisional militia The New Lencas And they send them off, armed to the teeth, reeking of shit [Chorus] Death sells cause it's sexy Murdering builds up a national myth Arm our people's killers And sing our names for the fun of it [Chorus] Death sells cause it's sexy Murdering builds up a national myth Arm our people's killers And sing our names for the fun of it [Chorus] The smell of death sells cause it's sexy Retributive murder for national myth You arm all the killers of all of our people And sing out our names for the fun of it [Chorus] The smell of war makes me fucking horny Vindictive murder for national myth You arm all the killers of all of our people And piss on our graves for the fun of it [Verse 4] Who gives a fuck about a Russian Look at Ukraine they deserve what they get Go on and conquer what you once lost Intersectional violence for national myth [Verse 5] This fight is for land? This fight is for unity? Our fight is not one in which we struggle with modernity? Kill the weeds as they spring up? Each and every one? (Each and every one!) [Verse 6] Once so stupid they fought the wrong side Now they're empowered through genocide Once so stupid they believed white lies Now they're empowered to colonize [Instrumental] [Verse 7] And so they killed them They killed millions of Russians with the misfortune of being born with their blood running red And we watched, and we cheered, at the colonial project's success With the delight of having witnessed a child scrape their knee [Verse 8] These migrants conscripted into our colonial expedition were capable of anything, no matter how grotesque Aversions never lasted too long, and they weren't in a position to protest—obviously But Lempira, well, he was the most eager of all It certainly surprised me due to my preconceptions of his nature, but I think I must have just felt bad for him He's still a king after all If you show him an end, he'll do everything within his power to force it out of the means His only mistake after all this time was thinking we were sitting at the same bargaining table Isn't it interesting how that happens?
