Always our rebel side
Got into trouble
Fighting bloody-knuckled
To defend what was faith

The peasant underdog
Found shelter and food
Under our sheds for victory
If it comes is sweet

The truth poor maiden
Found her virtue defended
With sword and blood
Whatever the cost

What were kings
To us living in such times
What crimes could those
Who stayed at home
Possibly accuse us of
For which we were not daily
Paying with pain in our wounds

For our sins
We prayed for absolution
But then our God as yours
Answered as if all he could
Was silence

Rattling the bars
Of this jail
That was our after lives
Only after years
Did we realize
That it is Death
Who as always
Holds the keys

To exoneration
And compensation
And final forgiveness

And now Senor
How good it finally is
To be free
