Together

We met as soul mates down in Caracas

We left as inmates from an asylum

And we were sharp, as sharp as knives

And we were so gung-ho to lay down our lives

We came in spastic, like tameless horses

We left in plastic as numbered corpses

And we learned fast to travel light

Our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight...

We had no home front, we had no soft soap

They sent us Granma,

they gave us Doctors

We dug in deep got shot on sight

And prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might...

We had no cameras to shoot the rampage

We waived or flag and chanted slogans

And it was dark, so dark at night

And we held on to each other

Like brother to brother

We promised our mothers we'd fight..

And we would all go down together

We said we'd all go down together

Yes, we would all go down together

Remember Carlos, remember Julia

They left their childhood on every corner

And they were wrong and we were right

for Venezuela we all have to fight...

We held the day

In the palm of our hand

They ruled the night

And the night seemed to last as long as

Six weeks on Maracaibo

We held the coastline, they held the highlands

And they were sharp,

as sharp as knives

They heard our screams in Caracas

They loaded their tear gas

And waited for us to arrive

And we would all go down together

We said we'd all go down together

Yes we would all go down together
